XRP doesn't have any Dapps. They've been very behind and haven't kept up. XRP depends on the govt and its CBDC platform to stay in business, not the best tech or experience.
Cardano has followed all regulations and Midnight Sidechain will be designed for businesses to use smart contracts on a privacy blockchain while still maintaining regulations. Quoted from Hoskinson, Cardano is the "Settlement Layer" and Midnight will be a "Service Layer".
Hydra on Cardano allows 1,000,000+ transactions because each transaction validator (stake pool) can modulate and make their own Hydra payment processor at 1000+ transactions/second.
There are about 3000 stake pools validating transactions on Cardano. So each of them theoretically could use Hydra and the transaction speed would be 3,000,000 tx/sec.
Also in Cardano you can send to multiple addresses in one transaction. There can even be transactions that must be signed off by multiple wallet addresses in order to be sent (for safety). So multiple wallet addresses can be sent to multiple wallet addresses in one transaction.
XRP being primarily for financial institution level use; It's first focus is cross border Xfer, bank nostro vostro liquidity etc. Ripple is not "behind" because their focus is not on retail use as you seem to presume. Instead they have numerous signed agreements with FIs most of which are waiting to "go live". Thus the bulk of the adoption work is already done; it's just a matter of time. This means it's already trusted by FIs to be a key component of the new system.
As far a following regulations that's pretty hard for any DA when the SEC purposely is totally vague on regs but instead invites various CEOs in for a "fireside chat" and then uses that info against them.
Hydra only works with a small # of nodes at this time if they are in agreement. XRP and by that I presume you mean Ripple does not depend on "the gov" to stay in business via CBDCs in any meaningful way. Instead as mentioned they have already created value via signed agreements because what it does is securely solve friction problems that FIs have. FIs are very much convinced of such else they would not sign on board.

Literally every crypto does cross transfer. There's no need for 3rd party banks when the transactions are transfered directly to a persons wallet. When the big bank crash finally happens banks will not come back from this. Yes Ripple is far behind and hiding behind executives that have joined US government in the hopes that it outlasts better tech. It won't work.
This means it's already trusted by FIs to be a key component of the new system.
The majority of financial institutions are fucked after this credit event, theres not going to be any name to them after and that will be the reason crypto will become more widely adopted. Ripple didn't put any work in developing tech it just put work in developing deals with financial institutions.
Let me ask you, can you become a validator? What % of the validators are major banks/financial institutions rather than small independent business owners? What does XRP do that other crypto can't?

Actually your wrong on that, Hydra works with anyone that wants to use it there is no need of an agreement, its just a matter of being used. Each Hydra payment processor is like its own individual Lightning Network.
It will get widespread adoption by stake pools when 1.0.0 is released. That's when most major bugs will be worked out and it'll be use able out of the box.

Then why are there former XRP executives in the government now? Why make a CBDC platform when you are supposed to be a cryptocurrency?
Former US Treasurer, Rosie Rios et al migrated the other way actually from gov to Ripple because it is a corner piece of the new system; she, being extremely well qualified to know, knows it does what it is designed to do and is not flawed for what it does.
Every crypto does not do cross transfer by the definition of fiat to fiat through FIs. Ripplenet uniquely provides the liquidity needed for 4 second fiat to fiat xfers that banks and money exchange services need badly; it solves a huge friction point for them; not in the future, not planned but working now. There is an entire backbone that exists already and works now such that FIs are adopting it in part because it has 80M closed ledgers since 2012 without error or hack. It's detailed but roughly goes like this: Sender -->ripplenet's xRapid-->receiver. In 3-4 seconds fiat is converted to another fiat from one bank or FI to the other. No other crypto does that. XRP used by xRapid provides the ODL (on demand liquidity) so banks don'thave to tie up billions in nostro vostro accounts.
OK good deal, I was under the impression almost all the validators were big financial institutions or Ripple, I'm glad to see I'm wrong there. I'm not sure if this site is right but it says there's 115 validators on mainnet.
Replacing the SWIFT system would be an improvement to today.
Has Cross Transfer gone online yet and being used actively by banks or is it still tied up from the court case? Is it only for banks to use or can a regular bank user use XRP for cross transfer fiat?

Has the blockchain ever had a time it was shut down? That's much better than Solana or even Ethereum (with it going backwards after DAO hack).
Vitalik Buterin got the idea for Ethereum Smart Contracts back in 2013 or 2014 when interning with Ripple over the summer. Apparently XRP had smart contracts they were working on and shelved the idea. Vitalik took the idea and made Ethereum.
I've seen at some point in the last couple of years XRP was working again on Smart Contracts in C++ but I saw no developed Dapps at the time. Do you know if that's changed at all? Or why they shelved it to begin with?
Also another question for the cross transfer, where are the currencies being converted? If I did a cross transfer of USD from American to Indian Rupies at an Indian Bank, that money doesn't magically appear there.
US bank would have to convert US to some digital equivalent and send the digital money to the Indian Bank on the network.
The Indian bank gets that digital equivalent and redeems it for actual Rupies somewhere.
