Cardano Founder Debunks XRP Conspiracy Theories in AMA

In a recent Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano, expressed his disapproval of the conspiracy theories rampant in the current XRP community. His narrative was intended to clear claims that the supporters of Ethereum had influenced SEC proceedings against XRP. Hoskinson’s plea for informed debate signifies a milestone in the discussions that continue to rage within the crypto industry.

Cardano Founder Urges for a Rational Debate

Hoskinson stressed rational discourse and evidence in the discussion of the actions of the SEC against XRP in the AMA. He pointed out an absence of any proof from the XRP community that would confirm the undue influence of the Ethereum backers on the SEC’s actions.

 “There is no evidence, XRP community. Zero evidence that someone paid the US government to target you,” he explained, denoting the unsubstantiated nature of such conspiracy theories.

The #ETHGate Misunderstanding

Hoskinson also cleared up his thoughts about the #ETHGate controversy, which was a point of misunderstanding between him and the XRP community. He said that his statement on the matter had been misunderstood, pointing out that while it is conceivable that somebody could have influenced the SEC, there is no proof of this leading to XRP being targeted by the regulatory body. 

His concern with asking these theories is to change the conversation into more productive dialogues regarding the regulation of cryptocurrency and innovation.

Aiming to dissociate from the earlier XRP and Ripple debates, the recent Hoskinson statements represent another attempt at constructive dialogue. He has repeatedly called on the leaders of Ripple to deal with and repudiate the groundless attacks from these conspiracy theories. This method highlights his wish to go beyond the antagonisms that have characterized relations of some factions in the crypto community.

Cardano and XRP Trend

Similarly, while Cardano’s ADA stagnates around the $0.63 mark, Hoskinson’s criticism of the XRP community conspiracy theories comes when the cryptocurrency market strives for clarity and predictability. The speed of the Cardano network’s development and its power to distinguish itself is under question. ADA was trading at $0.6334 at press time, a 1.69% surge from the day’s low.

However, XRP faces issues with the ongoing class action appeal process and major exchange-related lawsuits. This vagueness of the laws also affects the investor perception and market dynamics of both cryptocurrencies.
