Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson Endorses Coinbase CEO for White House Crypto Role

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has endorsed Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, for a new White House crypto advisory role that Donald Trump is reportedly considering.

Hoskinson praised Armstrong for his neutral stance, extensive knowledge of the crypto space, and ability to work with all blockchain protocols.

He believes Armstrong is well-suited to help address the shortcomings of the current U.S. administration’s approach to crypto regulation.

Hoskinson highlighted Armstrong’s leadership at Coinbase, a major crypto exchange, and his ability to navigate regulatory challenges, particularly the ongoing legal battles with the U.S. SEC. He believes Armstrong could unite the industry and guide the Trump administration on creating pro-crypto policies, including new laws.

Hoskinson also shared his own efforts to push the crypto industry forward, announcing plans to collaborate with U.S. lawmakers on new legislative initiatives and to launch “Operation Baseline” in 2025.

This project aims to assess the U.S. crypto industry to identify opportunities for growth and help shape clearer policies that position the U.S. as a global crypto leader.
