Hoskinson Warns Crypto Executives May Face Investigations After Midterms
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has warned that several industry figures who attended the White House crypto summit could face investigations if Democrats regain control during the 2026 U.S. midterm elections.
Hoskinson made the remarks after users mocked him for not receiving an invitation to the White House Crypto Summit hosted by President Donald Trump last month.
The event brought together prominent figures from the cryptocurrency and financial industries, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi, Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov.
Hoskinson predicted that half of the crypto executives pictured in the Oval Office could face investigations under a newly empowered Democratic Party.
