Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has openly supported Ergo (ERG) following news that it could potentially be listed by HTX.
Earlier this week, Ergo's official X account reported that its native token was unfairly delisted by HTX because it failed to meet liquidity requirements.
We emphasized that listing agreements we previously signed with HTX do not include minimum volume requirements. However, Ergo claimed that HTX added ERG to the ST list without notifying the ERGO team of policy changes or providing appropriate response times.
Hoskinson said in his X post he is familiar with how centralized exchanges handle smaller crypto projects. He emphasized that decentralization is the only way small projects can end abuse from centralized trading platforms.
Meanwhile, Hoskinson praised Ergo, describing it as the spiritual successor to Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. He emphasized that the project deserves more respect and love than it currently receives.
Furthermore, Hoskinson suggested that ergos could thrive as a partner chain within the Cardano ecosystem. He pointed out that it would be difficult for the Cardano team to provide support, but Ergo remains a standalone Layer-1 (L1) project.
Is there anything big coming for the ERG?
Ergo has not commented on the proposal yet, but edge capitalism underscored the importance of Hoskinson's recent support for ERG. Edge Capitalism is surprising to see Hoskinson commenting on projects like Ergo, rather than established competitors like Solana and Ethereum.
They view Hoskinson's statement as a strong support for Ergo's distributed model and technology, suggesting that such high-profile verification could pave the way for important development of ERGs in the near future.

Still erg on htx
In the meantime, HTX Global has not yet deprecated ERG. Of ERG's total 24-hour trading volume of $351,000, $42,561 was traded on HTX Global.
The token, which plunged to a 30-day low of $0.7712 yesterday, is now changing hands at $0.8258. It has skyrocketed 4.58% over the past 24 hours, but has declined 3.67% over the past week. With a valuation of $67.71 million, ERG ranks as the 492nd largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Ergo is another L1 blockchain, but it is compatible with the Cardano network. Like Cardano, Ergo uses the same transaction model to ensure that decentralized applications run on both blockchains. Last year, 624,000 ERG coins, or 0.76% of 81.96 million distribution supplies, moved to the Cardano Network.
