Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson provided an intriguing look behind closed doors at ongoing discussions about integrating the RLUSD stablecoin onto the Cardano blockchain. While both sides are exploring possibilities, nothing is finalized yet. Hoskinson revealed that talks began last year and continued into 2025, with Cardano’s team even offering free support for the integration. However, a major twist lies in the potential acquisition of Circle by Ripple. This rumored deal, valued at around $11 billion, could significantly shift the trajectory of RLUSD development. If the deal goes through, it would consolidate two leading stablecoin entities under one roof, potentially requiring Cardano to recalibrate its approach regarding integration and listing strategies.
