There is a lack of excitement in the cryptocurrency market. Altcoin projects make updates, partnerships and new developments, but they do not leave a lasting impact. For Cardano (ADA), the Vasil Hard Fork was a big deal, but the fire quickly faded in the winter market. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson sparked excitement in the Cardano community with a new announcement earlier today.
“Something special is coming for Cardano (ADA) in November”
Charles Hoskinson claimed that “something special” was coming in November. However, he also refrained from going into further details. “Something special is coming in November,” Hoskinson posted on his Twitter account, adding an animated GIF. A slogan sung by the character Professor Farnsworth from the 1999 animated TV show Futurama. The meme is widely used by anyone who talks about something especially good.

cryptocoin.com As you follow, Cardano released the much-anticipated Vasil upgrade in September after months of delays. The ADA token has seen a significant rally until the upgrade. However, he has not been able to make any progress since then. At press time, Cardano was trading at $0.3552, up 1.68% on a daily basis. However, the altcoin has lost over 4% on the weekly timeframe. It is also 88.5% off the all-time high of $3.10, which it saw about a year ago.
In a recent conversation with popular YouTuber Ben Armstrong, Hoskinson said that the Cardano network is in a ‘wait and see’ phase following the release of Vasil Hard Fork. Hoskinson claims that he expects a lot to happen on the partnership side (especially when it comes to bridges, standards and certifications).
The Cardano inventor says it was the ‘biggest surprise’ that Metaverse, GameFi, and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) came together on Cardano. “It has brought a lot of new players into our space,” he adds.
Charles Hoskinson clarifies his stance on XRP
cryptocoin.com As we reported, Hoskinson recently called Ripple members’ allegations against the SEC a “major conspiracy.” That’s why Hoskinson received serious backlash from the XRP community.
This time around, the Cardano inventor said that XRP fans ‘muddy the waters’ with his statements. He also reiterated that this stance makes it difficult for the industry to support Ripple. She stressed that she didn’t want to accuse the entire government agency of committing crimes. Hoskinson also claimed that XRP fans are fueling divisiveness rather than gaining much-needed allies. Accordingly, he also criticized the “free pass” narrative put forward by XRP fans.
