Charles Hoskinson again supports Trump crypto policy
Hoskinson dismisses White House snub, calls for stable crypto policy.
Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Cardano, has downplayed his absence from a high-profile digital assets summit held at the White House in March.
The summit, which brought together several key crypto industry figures, was notably attended by founders of major blockchain projects—except Hoskinson, reports Cryptopolitan.
Despite speculation about the omission, he insists it doesn’t concern him.
“A lot of people want to get close to David Sacks and Bo Hines and build relationships there,” Hoskinson told DL News, referencing two of the Trump administration’s most prominent crypto advisers. “That’s the flavor of the week. It’s nice for optics, but it doesn’t translate into sustainable, permanent policy.”
Hoskinson emphasized that he has no interest in political posturing. “I don’t need to make a deal with Trump,” he said, adding that his focus lies in using blockchain technology—namely Cardano—as a tool for public service. He spends much of his time meeting global regulators and lawmakers, describing himself as a “DeFi diplomat” pushing for comprehensive blockchain governance.
Stable policy over temporary momentum
While President Donald Trump’s administration has introduced sweeping crypto reforms—including a Bitcoin strategic reserve and appointing pro-crypto SEC chair Paul Atkins—Hoskinson believes the real work lies in ensuring these changes endure beyond any one political cycle.
He has reportedly developed ties with Senator Tim Scott, chair of the Senate Banking Committee and a key figure behind the pending stablecoin bill. Hoskinson sees this as part of a broader effort to enshrine long-term regulatory clarity. He supports a market structure bill currently under discussion that would clarify the jurisdictional roles of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
“There will be a person after Trump, whether it be JD Vance or a Democrat or somebody else, it’s immaterial,” Hoskinson said. “I need a consistent, stable set of rules.”
As U.S. crypto policy continues to evolve rapidly, Hoskinson’s strategy reflects a growing consensus in the industry: long-term success depends on robust, apolitical regulation rather than fleeting political favor.
Recently we wrote that Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano and one of Ethereum’s original architects, is bullish on Bitcoin reaching $250,000 within the next 12 to 20 months.
