Cardano Co-Founder Not Invited to White House Crypto Summit

According to PANews, sources from the White House have disclosed that Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano, was not invited to the upcoming cryptocurrency summit scheduled for Friday. A White House insider stated, "They are trying to push their own narrative without engaging in any policy-influencing activities, hence they were not invited to the summit."Hoskinson's name was initially expected to appear on the guest list for Friday's event after U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned on Truth Social that ADA would be included in the cryptocurrency reserves. However, since the inauguration, neither Hoskinson nor any representative from Cardano has been invited to meet with the President.The cryptocurrency community had speculated that Hoskinson's February post on X indicated his attendance at a fundraising dinner for the pro-cryptocurrency political action committee MAGA Inc. held last Saturday. On February 10, Hoskinson mentioned a "VIP dinner" that was rescheduled from the 22nd to the 1st, aligning with the MAGA Inc. dinner date.Last Thursday, Hoskinson stated he would "miss ETH Denver" due to an event in Florida. However, White House sources confirmed that Hoskinson was not invited to the MAGA Inc. dinner. According to an attendee, Hoskinson was present at side events during ETH Denver in Denver.
