On April 18, according to DLNews, Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson responded to not being invited by the White House crypto roundtable and said that "there is no need to reach a deal with Trump." Hoskinson said the current U.S.-driven crypto policy reforms should focus on "sustainable, long-term frameworks" rather than relying on short-term politicians. During the White House cryptocurrency summit, Trump met with crypto executives including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and other crypto executives to discuss digital asset regulation issues, but Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson was not invited.

Hoskinson stressed that even if Trump issued crypto executive orders, established a strategic Bitcoin reserve and appointed crypto-friendly people to lead the SEC during his tenure, what is really important is the regulatory stability brought by legislation. "Faced with the current changes in the United States' policies, Trump governs the country like a startup, but this also highlights the need to establish a decentralized system such as blockchain. The only option is blockchain."
