Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson electrified the ADA community during his August 31 AMA, revealing plans for multiple cross-chain collaborations. Among the most anticipated is the potential integration of the USD1 stablecoin, issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Hoskinson confirmed that discussions between IOG Chief of Staff J.J. Siler and WLFI CEO Zach Witkoff are underway, suggesting a deal could be finalized soon.
USD1, currently ranked as the fifth-largest stablecoin with a $2.67 billion market cap, first launched on Ethereum and BNB chains before expanding to Tron. Its arrival on Cardano could mark the largest stablecoin presence within the ecosystem, potentially boosting transaction volumes and user activity.
Chainlink Collaboration on the Horizon
Hoskinson also addressed Cardano’s ambitions to integrate with Chainlink. While noting that the LINK team presented an “absurd number for integration,” he remains confident that Cardano can “handle it” and successfully negotiate the partnership. Praising Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov, Hoskinson highlighted Chainlink’s unique technological advantages, calling it a “golden egg.”
Chainlink has gained attention recently due to growing institutional interest and collaborations with the US Department of Commerce, which brought official economic data on-chain. Cardano’s potential partnership could strengthen its DeFi capabilities and bring high-value oracles to the ecosystem.
Future Integrations: Aave and Beyond
Beyond USD1 and Chainlink, Hoskinson revealed that Cardano aims to integrate with Aave, the leading decentralized lending protocol. “I’d like USD1, I’d like Aave, I’d like Chainlink,” he said, emphasizing that these partnerships form a “bundle” essential for Cardano’s competitiveness.

Hoskinson stressed that staying relevant in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape requires Cardano to match the technological and strategic prowess of other blockchain ecosystems. These cross-chain partnerships could play a pivotal role in accelerating adoption and positioning Cardano as a leading DeFi hub.
Cardano’s aggressive pursuit of USD1, Chainlink, and Aave integrations signals a new phase of strategic growth. As the ecosystem strengthens its cross-chain collaborations, ADA investors and enthusiasts can anticipate higher utility, transaction activity, and mainstream relevance.
