Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has directly confirmed that the plan for XRP-based decentralized finance (DeFi) integration is still valid. As XRP's use cases expand on other blockchains recently, the fact that Cardano is also maintaining its related strategy has been re-emphasized, drawing market attention.

Hoskinson briefly answered "Yes" when asked about the XRP DeFi introduction plan while responding to community questions on X (formerly Twitter). This statement suggests that the introduction of DeFi functionalities using XRP within the Cardano ecosystem is still being pursued.

This discussion began with a question from 'Big Pey', a known Cardano community influencer, asking about the progress of XRP DeFi. With recent instances of XRP being used in wrapped form on other blockchains, interest in when a similar integration might materialize on Cardano has grown.

However, Hoskinson raised questions about the decentralization of the XRP ecosystem. He argued that if a specific individual or group's influence can affect the entire network, it cannot be considered a truly decentralized structure. This statement reignited existing debates between the Cardano and Ripple camps.

Currently, specific timelines or technical progress stages related to XRP DeFi integration have not been disclosed. However, the confirmation that the plan itself has not been withdrawn and is continuously being pursued is expected to act as an important variable in the future expansion of the Cardano DeFi ecosystem.
