In an exciting unveiling, Charles Hoskinson plagued new updates about the integration of XRP and other Rippels-related assets on the Cardano network. This was unveiled in response to a user who asked if RLUSD would be added to Cardano.
Charles replied that a full XRP integration package is already being made. “There is a whole XRP package with the Glacier drop, lace wallet -support, XRP Defi and the Realusd interviews,” he said.
Glacier -drop with XRP support and midnight AirDrop
The Glacier drop is Midnight’s Multi-Chain AirDrop, which was unveiled during Consensus 2025 in Toronto. It will focus on around 37 million block chains, including the XRP whides, but only retail users come for it.
As part of the Glacier drop, Midnight Two Tokens will airdrops: Night (Governance) and Dust (Privacy-oriented). XRP holders can be eligible by storing their tokens in eligible portfolios.
Lace wallet set to add XRP
Hoskinson recently confirmed that Lace Wallet, the lightweight, multi-chain wallet of Cardano, will soon support XRP. This would enable users to send, receive and store XRP in addition to assets such as Ada and Bitcoin.
He has shown strong support for Ripple’s Stablecoin Rlusd. Real USD (RLUSD) is launched in December, currently runs on Ethereum and the XRP whides, but Cardano can be added soon in the future.
XRP Defi use cases
The integration of XRP in Cardano can bring fresh Defi -USE cases such as loans and borrowing and other financial services within the Cardano ecosystem. At the end of 2024, Hoskinson said that Cardano XRP could offer some “great” Defi tools. A Wanchain bridge went live in February, allowing Native XRP to connect to Cardano.
The update ran heads, given the earlier Hoskinson’s disagreements with the XRP community. But his recent comments point to a tone shift, while opening the need for more cooperation and less competition within the crypto industry.
Charles also recently proposed to diversify $ 100 million in ADA to Stablecoins and even Bitcoin, aimed at bringing BTC in the Cardano defi-eco system and creating a multi-asset treasury model.
