Hoskinson Warns Trump-Linked Crypto Executives May Face Scrutiny After Midterms

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has warned that some crypto executives may face investigations if Democrats gain power after the 2026 U.S. midterm elections.

Hoskinson made these comments in response to criticism over his absence from a recent White House meeting attended by several prominent figures from the cryptocurrency industry, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

The gathering focused on digital asset policy and efforts to advance U.S. crypto legislation, including the CLARITY Act.

Hoskinson remains critical of parts of the Republican-led approach to crypto legislation and has expressed concerns about the CLARITY Act.
