Cardano plans to integrate XRP, DeFi tools, and support for RLUSD.
Hoskinson proposes using ADA reserves to build a self-sustaining fund.
Lace wallet will support Ripple-based assets for better user access.
The founder of Cardano (Charles Hoskinson),confirmed plans to integrate Ripple-related assets, including RLUSD, into the Cardano ecosystem. He shared these updates in response to community inquiries regarding the possible listing of RLUSD on Cardano.
Hoskinson described a broader plan under development, which he referred to as the "XRP package." This initiative includes XRP DeFi integration, Lace wallet support, RealUSD discussions, and "glacier drops." These glacier drops represent a staged release of assets tied to development milestones.
The proposed features aim to increase interoperability between blockchains. Lace, Cardano’s native wallet, will play a key role by offering XRP asset support. This enables Cardano users to manage Ripple-based assets natively and may improve user experience within the network.
XRP’s DeFi integration stands out as a significant move. Cardano plans to introce decentralized finance opportunities for XRP, enabling lending, borrowing, and liquidity pooling. This may expand the utility of both platforms and attract more developers.
Cardano Considers Strategic Treasury Investments
In a recent podcast on X, Hoskinson outlined potential strategies for growing Cardano’s decentralized Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). He proposed using part of the network’s ADA reserves to invest in external assets that could provide long-term returns.
Hoskinson suggested converting \$100 million worth of ADA into a mix of stablecoins and Bitcoin. The goal is to generate yield from these holdings and reinvest gains into the Cardano ecosystem. The model seeks to provide a secure system that will meet regular funding of the ecosystem.
By investing in low-risk assets, Cardano might have a chance not to exhaust its primary treasury and finance ecosystem projects long-term. Part of the returns could be used to buy back ADA, which may positively affect demand and token stability.
The strategy mirrors models used by national sovereign wealth funds. The aim is to create a self-sustaining economic structure that supports platform growth while preserving value for the long term.
These developments point to Cardano’s continued focus on expansion and functionality. From asset interoperability with Ripple to strategic economic planning, the network is positioning itself for broader adoption.
