In a recent exchange on X (formerly Twitter), Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA), found himself entangled in a fiery debate with members of the XRP community. The discussion centered around allegations of conspiracy and bribery involving the founders of Ethereum and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In a discussion thread, there was a user known as X who claimed that Hoskinson had previously labeled XRP enthusiasts as “conspiracy theorists” due to their accusations of Ethereum creators bribing U.S. regulators. Additionally, the X user put forth the argument that recent developments provide evidence in support of the claims made by the XRP community.
Hoskinson responded to the challenge by requesting concrete proof that could validate the allegations of Ethereum individuals bribing the SEC to pursue charges against Ripple. He sought tangible evidence to substantiate the claims made.
In the meantime, another supporter of XRP stepped forward to clarify the allegations. This commentator proposed that the alleged bribe aimed at securing Ethereum’s exemption from security laws rather than directly targeting Ripple.
Hoskinson Clarifies His Stance On Ethereum & SEC Amid XRP Community Dispute
Hoskinson held a firm position and clarified his stance regarding the XRP community. He emphasized that his previous remarks concerning Ethereum’s involvement with the SEC were solely aimed at addressing allegations of influence on Ripple. Importantly, Hoskinson stated that he does not believe there was any bribery between Ethereum and the SEC.
Additionally, the influential figure known as Digital Asset Investor (DAI) criticized Hoskinson, alleging that he was attempting to distort the situation. DAI further argued that neither Hoskinson nor the founders of ETH had made any public statements addressing the disputed facts, which raised suspicions about their silence. Furthermore, DAI directly challenged Hoskinson to provide evidence that would refute their claims.
Following recent whistleblower claims, it is worth noting that extensive discussions have emerged. Experts contend that the U.S. regulator may opt against taking the pending Ripple case to trial due to the aforementioned allegations.
