Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has expressed his admiration for David Schwartz, the chief technology officer of Ripple. In a recent video, Hoskinson stated, “David Schwartz is brilliant; it’s a lot of fun being in meetings with him.”
As Ripple navigates the legal challenges, Hoskinson has acknowledged the hardships faced by Ripple, including the delisting of the token from various exchanges, its ban from certain markets, and the ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ripple continues to face an uphill battle even after achieving a partial victory in the lawsuit. Despite the legal hurdles, Hoskinson has doubled down on Ripple’s ability to brave the odds and remains optimistic about the future of cryptocurrencies.

Hoskinson praised Garlinghouse’s leadership and collaborative spirit, highlighting the need for industry leaders to unite and work together to shape the future of cryptocurrencies. Garlinghouse too, in his tweet, emphasized the importance of a level playing field and regulatory clarity for the industry.
