According to ChainCatcher and DL News, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responded to not being invited to the White House crypto roundtable, stating that he does not "need to make a deal with Trump" and emphasized that the current crypto policy reforms in the United States should focus on a "sustainable, long-term framework" rather than being attached to 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 to discuss digital asset regulation. Hoskinson, who is considered a representative of the sovereign blockchain camp, was not invited, despite the White House recently considering including ADA in national crypto reserves.
Hoskinson stated that he is lobbying globally to promote blockchain policies, closely engaging with U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott in support of his Genius Act stablecoin legislation, meeting with former Japanese Digital Transformation Minister Taku Hirai, and discussing with Argentine President Milei's team. He emphasized that while Trump issued crypto executive orders, established a Bitcoin strategic reserve, and appointed crypto-friendly individuals to lead the SEC, the truly important aspect is the regulatory stability brought by legislation.
