Cardano Founder: No Need to Strike Deal with Trump, Real Focus Is Legislation Bringing Cryptocurrency Regulatory Clarity

2025.04.18 21:48:28

On April 18th, as per DLNews, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA), responded to not being invited to the White House crypto roundtable meeting by stating, "There is no need to make a deal with Trump." Hoskinson said that the current crypto policy reform being driven by the United States should focus on a "sustainable, long-term framework" rather than being tied to short-term political figures. During the White House cryptocurrency summit, Trump met with crypto executives such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse to discuss digital asset regulation, but Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA), was not invited. Hoskinson emphasized that even if Trump were to issue a crypto executive order, establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, and appoint crypto-friendly individuals to lead the SEC during his tenure, what truly matters is the regulatory stability brought about by legislation. "Facing the current policy volatility in the United States, Trump governs the country in a startup-like manner, but this also highlights the necessity of establishing decentralized systems such as blockchain, where the only option is blockchain."
