Charles Hoskinson broke his silence on the Mar-a-Lago 'diet coke' dinner incident involving Trump, revealing a series of confusing events that began in autumn.
Discussions started in 2024 about a crypto czar and commission, with Hoskinson expressing willingness to serve if Trump won.
Despite Trump's victory, David Sacks was appointed over Hoskinson, leading to further ambiguity about a potential crypto commission.
Hoskinson was disinvited from a Mar-a-Lago event in March, where he was prepared to discuss crypto policies.
The fallout involved concerns over ADA's inclusion in a crypto reserve list, leading to tension with technology adviser David Sacks.
Hoskinson believes his removal was orchestrated due to fears of him challenging the decision to include ADA in the reserve list.
Despite the confusion and backlash, Hoskinson emphasized the importance of bipartisan consensus on crypto regulation.
He highlighted ongoing legislative efforts such as the Genius Act and stable-coin regulation discussions.
Hoskinson reiterated the need for enduring crypto policies beyond individual administrations.
