Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Reveals Next Steps for ADA Governance
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, explained the plans for the Cardano blockchain governance. He pointed out that the deployment of decentralized representatives (dReps) will significantly shift the control of the treasury even without a complete constitution. This is expected to happen within 90 days after the significant Cardano update, referred to as the Chang hard fork.
Cardano Enhances Community Voice in Governance
The adoption of decentralized governance mechanisms via CIP-1694, launched in November 2022, was a significant shift for the Cardano network. This framework ensures the involvement of all ADA stakeholders in the governance process. Furthermore, it creates a well-coordinated system where three main entities – Delegated Representatives (DRePs), Constitutional Committee (CC), and Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) – are involved. These entities together come to a consensus on the governance actions suggested by the community.
The Chang hard fork is significant as the network transitions to this model in the future. Hoskinson stated,
“With the deployment of dReps, we are entering a new era where the voice of the community plays a substantial role in our direction.”
This emphasizes community-driven governance that aims to be accessible and equitable.
Charles Hoskinson Highlights Community’s Role in ADA
Consistency is important during the transitional period. The bootstrapping phase is vital as it enables the on-chain governance entities to prepare for their responsibilities. This technical phase includes off-chain measures that will lead to the constitution being ratified on-chain in the future.
This process involves onboarding DReps on the mainnet, which is a precursor to the full implementation of governance in the second phase of the Chang Upgrade. This systematic approach allows each community segment to optimally adapt to the new governance model.
The CEO of NMKR, Patrick Tobler, recently noted that ADA stakeholders actively participated in the community’s interim Constitutional Committee election. In response to this, Charles Hoskinson emphasized the role of community involvement in determining the direction of Cardano. He noted, “The success of our project depends on the contribution of every Cardano holder,” noting that community feedback is paramount to fine-tuning the governance structure.

The negative sentiment in the digital currency ecosystem is finally reflected in the Pepe Coin market. According to Lookonchain’s update, one of the memecoin’s whales has initiated a massive selloff. This selloff has further compounded the bearish outlook of the token, further dampening the outlook around the memecoin.
PEPE Whale Selloff, Key Implications
Per the Lookonchain update on X, the PEPE OG sold 150,000,000,000 tokens worth over $1.14 million in early trading. The analytics platform noted that this OG entered the PEPE market earlier. The whale reportedly spent only $2,184 to buy 1.5 trillion PEPE, valued at over $43 million at the peak.
This whale has sold off 1.02 trillion PEPE thus far for $6.66 million. Onchain records show he still has 493 billion PEPE of the original stash. This leftover is worth $3.64 million, representing a total profit of $10.3 million or 4,718x.

Whales selling off an asset is typically not a vote of confidence for the digital currency. This selloff is not uncommon to memecoins, and for PEPE, this may further dampen the negative outlook of the token.
PEPE Coin Price Outlook
Earlier this week, CoinGape reported a 500 billion PEPE accumulation by a whale, a move that many hoped could push the price up. However, the reverse is the case as Pepe Coin price is currently trading for $0.0000073, down 5.57% in past 24 hours.
Despite the broader market downturn, PEPE has come off as one of the biggest losers overall. Per the current setup, the token moved from a 24-hour high of $0.00000787 to its current price. While the token has maintained a marginal growth of 0.54% in the past 7-days, it has registered a 62% drawdown Year-to-Date (YTD).
It remains unknown how the current PEPE Coin outlook will play out. However, a halt in whale selloffs and a shift in the broader memecoin market fundamentals might fuel its recovery.
Crypto Market and Memecoin Rebound
The broader crypto market is down today, facing negative pressures from the economic uncertainty in the broader financial market.
Bitcoin has continued to weigh the altcoins down, explaining the PEPE-correlated selloff. Assets in the memecoin market, like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, have also been down 5.58% and 3.3% in the past 24 hours.
With the weekend volatility, top assets might see more price drawdowns overall. Analysts are optimistic about BTC’s future recovery, which can have a ripple effect on the broader market.

Nearly a week ago, Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) annnounced the launch of the USD1 stablecoin but the absence of a listing date continues to stump investors. However, an analyst says the stablecoin will make its debut on exchanges as early as April 1, baring any delays to stablecoin regulation in the US.
Expert Says USD1 Stablecoin Will List On April 1
Pseudonymous crypto analyst xHuai.eth took to X to predict a potential listing date for WLFI’s USD1 stablecoin. According to the analyst, the USD1 stablecoin may be available for trading as early as April 1 in line with industry conventions.
The analsyt disclosed that stablecoins are typically listed on exchanges within days of the annnouncement. WLFI announced the launch of the USD1 stablecoin on March 25 issued on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.
xHuai.eth disclosed that stablecoin listings on exchanges hinge on the completion of necessary technical steps. From the announcement, tapping Ehtereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Bitgo for custodial service indicates a completion of the technical steps.
Furthermore, xHuai.eth says that WLFI will be pressured to speed up listing processes to compete with USDT and USDC.
“With the announcement on March 25, the timeframe of March 31 to April 5 is reasonable,” said xHuai.eth. “April 1 is the most feasible date if there are no delays.”
Stablecoin Regulations May Affect The Listing Process
According to xHuai.eth’s analysis, incoming stablecoin regulation in the US will play a role in the USD1 stablecoin listing. The WLFI has previously mentioned that the launch on exchanges hinges on “regulatory approval” for stablecoins.
The US is hurtling toward stablecoin regulations with the GENIUS Act and STABLE Act piquing the interest of the White House. With authorities keen on expediting the passage of regulations, xHuai.eth argues the WLFI will move to list the USD1 stablecoin.
However, a delay in the regulatory process could lead to listing in late April, a scenario that xHuai.eth sees as unlikely. Authorities expect stablecoin regulation to go live in the US within two months driven by full support from the executive arm.
Following the release of the full draft of the STABLE Act, Sonic Labs is abandoning plans for an algorithmic stablecoin. Other issuers are positioning themselves to spearhead the government plans to maintain the dollar’s supremacy using stablecoins.

The recent XRP price glitch on live American TV has created ripples in the crypto community. In an episode of “American Sunrise Early Edition” on Real America’s Voice, the value of XRP soared to a staggering $21,355, marking a 961,936% uptick from its actual price at the moment.
Notably, other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano also saw variations in their prices during the live TV program. Though the host, Jake Novak, addressed Bitcoin’s price anomaly, he overlooked the XRP glitch.
XRP Price Glitch on Live American TV: Key Details
During an episode of American Sunrise Early Edition on Real America’s Voice, the show displayed incorrect prices for major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and XRP, with the values being significantly different from their actual market prices. For instance, the XRP price was displayed as $21,355, up by more than 961,936% from its actual market value of $2.1.
Throughout the market outlook segment, the XRP price glitch remained on the screen, fluctuating between $2.22 and $21,355. The community largely responded to the incident, drawing the team’s attention to the error.
This incident follows the increasing anticipations of the Ripple lawsuit settlement, driven by the SEC’s recent progressive stance.
XRP’s Repeated Price Glitch
As highlighted by the community members, it’s not the first time that XRP has experienced a price glitch. Historically, the token has seen dramatic price variations due to system errors.
In June 2024, XRP was shown on TradingView at $9,864, a point much higher than its original value. A glitch on Binance presented XRP at $5,791 due to data feed issues in October. In a similar incident, XRP’s value was incorrectly displayed on CoinMarketCap in November 2023, with the platform showing it at $1,919, a significant deviation from its actual market value.
Host Addresses Bitcoin Price Anomaly, Overlooks XRP
Notably, the technical issue on the American live TV has resulted in incorrect price displays for not just XRP, but several other cryptocurrencies. The episode presented Bitcoin’s price at $43,636, marking a significant drop of around 50% from the original value.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) rose to $6,000, a 156% surge and Solana (SOL) increased to $2,896, up by 1,983%. Dogecoin (DOGE) skyrocketed to $32, a 15,900% increase from $0.22, and Cardano (ADA) increased to $69, a 10,198% rise from $0.67.
Addressing the issue, the show’s host, Jake Novak, stated that the “graph had gone a little funky.” However, he only addressed the Bitcoin price glitch, overlooking the issues with other cryptocurrency values, including XRP.
How XRP Reacts To the Incident?
As of press time, XRP is valued at $2.10, with a notable decline of 5.5% over the past 24 hours. On a weekly and monthly basis, the token has experienced massive dips of 12.9% and 7.3%, respectively.
Despite the prevailing negative trend, the XRP price is facing a positives sentiment within the community. This is significantly evident in the 14.5% surge in the trading volume, currently at $4.18 billion.
