Biden’s Crypto Policies Under Fire: Cardano Leader Speaks Out

In a recent video shared on Cardanians.io, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson called on US voters to prioritize crypto in the upcoming elections. Speaking directly to the American public, Hoskinson stressed the pivotal role blockchain technology could play in the country’s economic, political, and social fabric. He warned that re-electing President Joe Biden could spell disaster for the American cryptocurrency industry.

Hoskinson didn’t mince words in his critique of the Biden administration. On social media platform X, he voiced his frustration with the absence of a Democratic primary, which he believes would have exposed Biden’s waning performance. He questioned why the public continues to tolerate the current situation and highlighted the need for genuine alternatives in leadership.

The SEC ‘Regulation By Enforcement’ Approach

Central to Hoskinson’s criticism is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s strategy of “regulation by enforcement.” He argues this approach has led to substantial job losses and hindered a trillion-dollar industry. Hoskinson accused the Biden administration of deliberately attempting to “destroy the American cryptocurrency industry,” portraying the upcoming election as a crucial turning point for the sector’s future.

Hoskinson contrasted the US regulatory environment with those of countries like Singapore and Switzerland, which have embraced cryptocurrency with open arms. These nations have seen significant investment and economic growth due to their favorable policies. He suggested that many companies now operating overseas would have preferred to be based in the US if the regulatory climate had been more supportive.

Voices From The Crypto Industry Join In

Hoskinson’s concerns resonate with other key figures in the cryptocurrency world. Messari CEO Ryan Selkis and the Winklevoss twins echo his dissatisfaction with the current regulatory environment. These industry leaders have turned the crypto lobby into a formidable political force, ready to influence policy directly.

Dear @GaryGensler:
