- A Cardano logo appearing in a Ripple promotional video has set off a fresh wave of speculation about a possible partnership.
- According to one analyst, Ripple and Cardano could be positioning themselves to tap into the massive $18 trillion tokenization market.
The crypto community is buzzing after Ripple (XRP) featured the Cardano (ADA) logo in a promotional video, sparking speculation about a possible partnership. The video mainly highlights the role of tokenization in the blockchain ecosystem. However, a market expert has suggested that it could also hint at plans to tap into the $18 trillion tokenization market.
Adding fuel to the rumour, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed recently that he has been in discussion with Ripple executives about a potential collaboration. Before the “dust could settle”, its logo appeared briefly at the start of Ripple’s video, further intensifying speculation.
Ripple has not commented on the logo appearance, leaving social media users divided. Some believe it’s a simple coincidence, while others believe Ripple is teasing an upcoming announcement. Ome user Dennis Walker suggested it could be a strategic move for both projects to align with the growing Real-World Asset (RWA) trend.
Previous Talks Between Ripple and Cardano
Hoskinson previously revealed that Cardano and Ripple had explored ways to work together to enhance the ecosystem. He mentioned that Cardano could bring Decentralized Finance features to XRP, while XRP could provide liquidity, stablecoin layers, and cross-chain bridges to Cardano. In another update, Hoskinson hinted at possible Integration of XRP and Cardano’s focused privacy Sidechain, Midnight.
Market expert Crispy believes that the Ripple-Cardano collaboration would be a “big steal”, especially with the RWA market expected to grow to $18.9 trillion by 2033. Big financial players like JPMorgan and BlackRock are already joining this race, with JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform processing $1.5 trillion in tokenized transactions and BlackRock’s money market fund nearing $2 billion in assets, as mentioned in our previous report.
Missed Opportunities by the Two
The partnership rumours come at a time when both Ripple and Cardano missed out on the Wyoming stablecoin project. Last year, Hoskinson even threatened legal action, accusing the Wyoming Stable Token Commission of favouring certain blockchains. Despite the controversy, the Commission chose platforms like Solana, Ethereum, Avalanche, Stellar Lumens, etc. as discussed earlier.
As of now, ADA is trading at $0.60 after a 12% surge over the past 24 hours. However, trading volume has dropped by 7%, and analysts warn that if bulls don’t gain momentum, ADA could slide back to $0.55.
According to a new chart on TradingView, ADA might be just $50, which could be a jaw-dropping 7,398% surge from the current level. The projection points to the third quarter of 2025 as the potential breakout period. However, some market analysts are raising concerns about a strong resistance level hovering between the $0.7 and $0.8 range.
Analyst Ali Martinez has cautioned that a pullback could spell serious trouble for ADA. If it loses its key support, the asset could tumble further to $0.3 and possibly even $0.2.
