Executives of two prominent cryptocurrencies are in the exploratory stage of a possible partnership between the two crypto platforms. If it pushes through, it might set an example and pave the way for future alliances among key players in the crypto space, generating excitement in the digital currency community.
Cardano And Ripple Alliance
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse can be considered trailblazers in the crypto industry. The two executives might lay the ground for future collaboration among cryptocurrency platforms amidst the clamor for unity within the virtual currency space.
Reports said that the two prominent industry leaders have entered into talks of a potential collaboration between the decentralized platforms, which others viewed as a key milestone for the industry.
Both Hoskinson and Garlinghouse confirmed that they are exchanging views and ideas on solidarity within the cryptocurrency industry, hinting at a potential alliance among their crypto platforms, a news that sparks optimism on what's next for the industry.
In an exchange of posts, the known crypto stalwarts disclosed this significant development.
I just spoke with @bgarlinghouse. He's a great CEO and extremely collaborative, and I'm excited to see how the future unfolds.

Regulatory Clarity
In the conversation exchange, Garlinghouse stressed that there is a need for a “collective action” among the players in the cryptocurrency sector, saying that the industry should push for clearer rules governing the crypto space leading to what he called a “level playing field” .
The Ripple CEO emphasized that there should be obvious “rules of the road” for the crypto market, adding that it will establish an equal opportunity among digital assets and firms.
He also noted that unity within the crypto industry will benefit the entire space, saying, “A rising tide lifts all boats.”
A Timely Alliance
Hoskinson and Garlinghouse's call for unity came at the right time as the cryptocurrency industry is experiencing increasing pressure from regulatory authorities which some analysts see as hindering the further development of the crypto sector.
For instance, several companies in the US must face and endure regulatory scrutiny.
Garlinghouse accused the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of “picking winners and losers” in the digital currency space since the state-run agency started to regulate the space in 2018.
He argued that this move of the SEC generated an “unlevel playing field” that could hinder innovation in the American crypto space.
Hence, the executive has been vocal about transparency and implementing fair rules to allow the industry to grow and further innovate, saying that a collaborative approach is needed now in the industry.
