Anticipation is growing in the crypto world prior to the Crypto summit of the White House for Friday 7 March 2025. This first event in its kind is expected to play a crucial role in the future of the Crypto policy of the US, possibly launching an American strategic crypto reserve. Various key figures in the industry, including members of the Crypto Task Force of former President Donald Trump, is expected to be present.
However, since the guest list has begun to take shape, a remarkable name is missing: Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson. According to Unchained, A source of the White House confirmed that Hoskinson was not invited to the top, nor is Cardano involved in policy discussions or meetings with the administration.
“They run through the city and try to push their own kind of story. They are not involved about trying to influence the policy and they are not invited to the top of Friday, “said the source of the White House Unchained.
The absence of Hoskinson is particularly surprisingly recent comments from President Trump. On Sunday, Trump said that Cardano’s Ada would be part of a crypto reserve, so that many led Hoskinson to have the presence of Hoskinson during the event.

- Brad Garlinghouse – CEO of Ripple
- Michael Saylor – Founder of MicroSstratey
