Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said XRP and Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain Midnight are designed to serve a potential $10 trillion market, citing growing demand for compliant blockchain infrastructure. He argued that XRP’s focus on payments and institutional settlement, combined with Midnight’s emphasis on data protection and regulation-friendly privacy, positions both networks for large-scale adoption. Hoskinson added that future growth in crypto will be driven less by speculation and more by real-world use cases aligned with governments and enterprises.
