COINOTAG News reports on April 18th that Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson voiced his concerns regarding his exclusion from the recent White House crypto roundtable. In his remarks, Hoskinson asserted, “There’s no need to make a deal with Trump,” emphasizing that U.S. crypto policy reform should prioritize a sustainable and long-term framework rather than aligning with transient political figures. The summit saw President Trump engaging with notable crypto leaders, including Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong and MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, yet Hoskinson’s absence raised eyebrows.
Hoskinson underscored the critical importance of regulatory stability, stating that even if Trump initiated a crypto executive order or established a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, the true essence lies in creating lasting legislative frameworks. He critiqued the current volatile policy landscape in the U.S., likening Trump’s governance style to that of a startup, which further accents the urgent need for decentralized systems such as blockchain technology, where permanence is key.
