Charles Hoskinson says XRP is no different from Tether; profits go to Ripple, risks to investors

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said XRP has a structure similar to Tether and argued Ripple’s business model does not deliver tangible benefits to XRP holders. He said Ripple funds operations by steadily selling XRP while holders have no rights to company profits or assets. He cited Ripple’s $1.2 billion Hidden Road acquisition and other initiatives as potentially lucrative for Ripple but not value-accretive for the token.

Hoskinson says Midnight\'s NIGHT differs from XRP in value distribution structure

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said Midnight’s NIGHT token is fundamentally different from Ripple’s XRP in how value is created and distributed. He said Ripple still controls a significant share of XRP supply and uses the token to raise capital for external expansion, while XRP holders do not gain ownership or financial exposure to Ripple’s business results. He also pointed to the absence of staking or revenue-sharing mechanisms in XRP.

DTCC tokenisation service plans stir XRP as community eyes possible Ripple links

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corp plans to launch an initial tokenisation service in the second half of 2026, drawing attention from the XRP community to possible ties to Ripple. The service would record securities on distributed ledger technology while keeping existing centralised infrastructure. Community members cite Ripple’s 2025 acquisition of Hidden Road, now Ripple Prime and a FICC member, and DTCC-owned Securrency’s digital-asset technology as potential links. No official confirmation has been given.
