Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has confirmed a new agreement to integrate LayerZero, an institutional-focused blockchain protocol, into the Cardano ecosystem. The announcement was made during a keynote address at a major industry conference in Hong Kong.

LayerZero Port to Strengthen Cardano Institutional Infrastructure

LayerZero, which recently secured investment from Citadel Securities, is designed to support institutional-grade blockchain markets. As part of the integration, Hoskinson revealed that USDCx will be introduced on Cardano, with a confirmed launch timeline and expected support from major wallets and exchanges.

He also linked the development to the rollout of Midnight’s mainnet, positioning both launches as a step toward enhanced privacy and zero-knowledge-powered stablecoin infrastructure on Cardano.

While acknowledging weak market sentiment and recent volatility across crypto markets, Hoskinson described the downturn as short term, maintaining that the broader macro outlook for digital assets remains positive.
