Cardano founder responds to White House uninvited: No deal with Trump needed, policies should go beyond political cycle

According to Foresight News, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responded in an interview that he was not invited to the White House Crypto Roundtable, stating that "there is no need to make a deal with Trump" and that the current US push for cryptocurrency policy reform should focus on "sustainable, long-term frameworks" rather than being dependent on short-term politicians. Previously, Trump met with cryptocurrency 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 issues. Hoskinson, who is seen as representing the sovereign blockchain camp, was not invited, although the White House has recently considered including ADA in the national cryptocurrency reserve. Hoskinson stated that he is lobbying globally to promote blockchain policies and is in close contact with Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott in the United States to support his stablecoin bill, the Genius Act; Prior to meeting with the Minister of Digital Transformation in Japan, Zhuoya Hirai; In Argentina, he communicated with President Milei's team. He emphasized that even though Trump issued a crypto executive order, established a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and appointed crypto friendly individuals to lead the SEC during his tenure, what truly matters is the regulatory stability brought about by the legislation. Faced with the current policy changes in the United States, he stated that "Trump governs the country like a startup company," but this also highlights the necessity of establishing decentralized systems such as blockchain. "The only option is blockchain," and he hopes that this chain will be Cardano.
