Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has sparked discussions after confirming his intention to support Donald Trump’s US government to help shape crypto legislation. The aim is to create clear regulatory frameworks for the digital assets sector, which has faced years of uncertainty and regulatory challenges.
Hoskinson revealed these plans in his recent remarks and said that developing positive policies regarding cryptocurrency requires support from both Democrats and Republicans. The development comes as Cardano and other major blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, continue to grapple with legal challenges from U.S. agencies.
Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Roles as Crypto Advisor
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said his company, Input Output Global (IOG), would create a separate policy division for crypto regulation. The office will focus on developing a legislative framework incorporating the provisions of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) and the Responsible Financial Innovation Act (RFIA).
“I will work with lawmakers and the administration to pass a bipartisan bill,” he said.
The Cardano founder emphasized the importance of cross-party cooperation, pointing out that the recent FIT21 bill passed the House with more than 60 Democratic votes, indicating growing support for bipartisan crypto legislation.
Charles Hoskinson’s statement also acknowledges the potential influence of a Republican-controlled Senate, House and presidency in the years to come. He said the current political climate could actually offer the industry a chance to find the legal status it desperately needs. He remarked,
“This is the best opportunity we’ve ever had in the history of the industry for clarification.”
Creation of a policy office for crypto regulation
In his strategy, Charles Hoskinson said IOG will recruit for its new policy office by early 2025. This office will also be responsible for interacting with the legislature and industry management, and promoting moderate regulation. Hoskinson explained that his team would begin approaching “key executives in certain positions” in order to “advance the legislative agenda defining securities and commodities in the crypto space.”
He also said the industry didn’t want favors but rules that would allow it to easily come up with new products without breaking the law. “No one in this industry has asked for a subsidy or a bailout,” he said. Amid these political changes, US SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has been warned to resign as the crypto community awaits Donald Trump’s promise to fire him on the first day after being sworn in.
The Cardano founder said he believes they will be able to “create trillions of dollars of value and millions of jobs for the American people” through these efforts.
Cardano Founder’s Position on a Transparent Framework
This isn’t the first time Hoskinson has advocated for a change in crypto policies and he’s not just doing it for Cardano. He highlighted that regulatory certainty is important not only for Cardano but also for other cryptocurrencies such as XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.
Charles Hoskinson noted that these ecosystems did not have clear guidelines, so they were slow to develop and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provided spotty oversight. “Crypto policy should be written by the American people and the American crypto industry,” he said, noting that current policy made it difficult to innovate.
At the same time, the founder of Cardano appreciated Bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency and recognized the strong community and respect for the initial principles of the project. But he expressed dissatisfaction with the speed at which innovation is occurring within the Bitcoin ecosystem, even as he acknowledged that innovations such as Bitcoin OS have added new use cases to Bitcoin.
Cardano (ADA) price hits 7-month high
Hoskinson also revealed that he has personal connections in the political sphere, which he hopes will facilitate constructive dialogues on crypto policy. He mentioned his friendships with figures in the Trump administration and expressed optimism about future collaborations.
However, he acknowledged that such relations depend on political changes, saying discussions are in their early stages as the new administration’s transition team forms.
After these announcements, Cardano (ADA) price recently saw a massive increase and traded at $0.58. It reached a 24-hour high of $0.6523. This move aligns with ADA’s price prediction of a potential rally to $1 if these bullish moves continue to occur.
