Cardano founder responds to White House not being invited: No need to strike a deal with Trump, focus on promoting global blockchain policies
ChainCatcher news, according to DL News, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responded to not being invited to the White House Crypto Roundtable in an exclusive interview, stating "there's no need to make a deal with Trump," and emphasized that the current U.S. push for crypto policy reform should focus on a "sustainable, long-term framework," rather than being reliant on short-term political figures.Previously, Trump met with crypto executives including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at the White House to discuss digital asset regulation, while Hoskinson, seen as a representative of the sovereign blockchain camp, was not invited, despite the White House recently considering including ADA in the national crypto reserve.Hoskinson stated that he is lobbying globally to promote blockchain policy, closely engaging with U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott to support his proposed stablecoin legislation, the Genius Act; meeting with former Digital Transformation Minister Takaya Hirai in Japan; and communicating with President Milei's team in Argentina. He stressed that even if Trump issues a crypto executive order, establishes a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and appoints crypto-friendly individuals to lead the SEC, the real importance lies in the regulatory stability brought about by legislation.
