Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is excited about a collaboration between the Cardano and XRP communities before 2025 ends. A key part of this partnership involves the Lace wallet, which will support XRP transactions by year-end. A joint event with prominent figures in the XRP ecosystem is also planned. The Midnight airdrop has seen tremendous participation, including XRP holders claiming 1.6 billion NIGHT tokens. This airdrop represents a significant event for Cardano. Hoskinson clarifies that it’s an open airdrop for numerous cryptocurrencies like ADA, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, AVAX and BAT. This initiative signals Cardano’s effort to connect with other blockchain ecosystems. Addressing claims of insider manipulation, Hoskinson firmly denies any wrongdoing and emphasizes the legitimacy of the airdrop.
