When two of the strongest forces in crypto start moving in the same direction, people pay attention. Here, rivalries are common and alliances are rare, but a new idea is picking up.
What if XRP and Cardano joined forces?
George Tung, founder of CryptosRus, believes the combination would be a game-changer.
“Two of the strongest armies and strongest holders out there,” he said. “Combining the two would create an unstoppable force.”
It’s a bold claim but one that’s hard to ignore, especially with fresh developments suggesting this isn’t just hypothetical talk. Here are the deets.
Tung’s statement taps into a truth most crypto veterans know well: XRP and Cardano are backed by two of the most active and loyal communities in crypto. These are users, builders, and investors who’ve stuck around through market dips, delays, and regulatory battles.
XRP holders in particular have shown their commitment. Even after the SEC lawsuit in 2020 hit the token hard, many refused to sell.
And on the other side, Cardano’s supporters have helped the project grow steadily through years of slow, careful development.
Just look at Twitter – these communities dominate with vocal investors, developers, and influencers who are ready to “fight” any criticism.
Both sides clearly believe in the long game and that’s what Tung sees as a major strength.
It wasn’t always this friendly. The XRP and Cardano communities have clashed in the past, mostly around the SEC’s treatment of Ethereum and comments made by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson.
But last year, Hoskinson put the feud to rest. He apologized to XRP holders and suggested a new path forward – one that could benefit both ecosystems.
Since then, things have started to move. Talks are underway to bring Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin to the Cardano network. XRP will also be integrated into Cardano’s Lace wallet, making it easier for users to hold both assets in one place.
There’s more on the table. Hoskinson announced that XRP holders will be included in Cardano’s upcoming Midnight airdrop – with two tokens, NIGHT and DUST, set to reach 37 million wallets.
He’s also proposed using Cardano’s Midnight protocol as a DeFi layer for XRP, which could unlock new yield opportunities. These plans aren’t live yet, but they show just how seriously this potential partnership is being explored.
If these pieces come together, XRP and Cardano could form a rare kind of alliance, built on trust, resilience, and shared utility.
For now, it’s just beginning. But if George Tung is right, this might be the start of something that shakes up the crypto market in a big way.
