Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed he was not invited to the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, 2025, despite ADA being included in Trump's proposed national crypto reserve. He downplayed the event's significance, emphasizing that real policy work happens in Congress, where he actively engages with lawmakers. The summit includes leaders like Michael Saylor, Brian Armstrong, and Vlad Tenev. Hoskinson remains focused on regulatory clarity, particularly in stablecoins and market structure legislation. While excluded from the summit, he continues influencing crypto policy through legislative efforts rather than executive discussions.
