Cardano founder: No need to reach a deal with Trump, focus on promoting global blockchain policies

On April 18th, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responded to not being invited to the White House cryptocurrency roundtable meeting, stating "no need to make deals with Trump", and mentioning that the current cryptocurrency policy reform in the United States should focus on a "sustainable, long-term framework" rather than being dependent on short-term political figures.

Previously, Trump met with cryptocurrency executives including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse to discuss digital asset regulation issues. Hoskinson, who is seen as representing the sovereign blockchain camp, was not invited, despite the White House considering adding ADA to the national cryptocurrency reserves.

Hoskinson mentioned that he is lobbying globally to promote blockchain policies, staying in close contact with U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, supporting his leading stablecoin bill, the Genius Act; meeting with Japan's former Minister of Digital Transformation Takuya Hirai; and engaging with the team of President Milei in Argentina. He emphasized that even if Trump issues cryptocurrency executive orders, establishes a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and appoints cryptocurrency-friendly individuals to lead the SEC, the real importance lies in the regulatory stability brought by legislation.
