Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson and XRP Community Agree to Make Peace Amid SEC Lawsuits

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and the XRP community are reportedly making peace after a period of trolling and criticism.

This comes as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to target the crypto market with lawsuits, including recognizing Cardano and XRP as securities.

The XRP vs SEC lawsuit is still awaiting a Summary Judgement from Judge Analisa Torres. Some members of the XRP community are positive about supporting Hoskinson, but blame Coinbase for damaging the cryptocurrency by not relisting the token on the platform. Meanwhile, US Senator Cynthia Lummis has pledged to bring crypto-friendly regulation amid the SEC lawsuits.
