Trump’s Crypto Agenda: Hoskinson Rumored for Treasury Secretary Role

Speculations have continued to heighten over a potential role for Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson in the incoming Donald Trump administration. Hoskinson’s name keeps popping up among political discussions, with some analysts considering the possibility of the blockchain’s appointment as the next U.S. Treasury Secretary under Trump.

It is crucial to note that neither Trump nor his core team members have confirmed Hoskinson’s particular role in the incoming administration. However, there are solid indications that the Cardano founder would be part of the government. The IOHK CEO confirmed this in a recent podcast.

In the podcast, Hoskinson shared his intention to collaborate with lawmakers in Washington, D.C. He expressed a desire to support and shape crypto policies alongside other industry leaders. To demonstrate his commitment, Hoskinson announced that Input Output (IOHK), the Cardano development arm, will establish a local office dedicated to advancing regulatory development.

Hoskinson has repeatedly declared his interest in working with the incoming administration. Meanwhile, the incoming president noted his intention to cooperate with the crypto society, citing the potential benefits the industry could bring to the U.S. economic and technological development.

In the meantime, President-Elect Trump has announced a list of nominees for appointment to various offices. Many analysts believe the incoming president’s nominations align with his campaign promises and are consistent with his unconventional approach toward political matters.

For instance, Trump created the Department of Government Efficiency to manage government spending and save funds. He appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the department, prompting discussions among the political circle.

Given Trump’s track record of bold and unexpected appointments, many analysts consider Hoskinson a valid candidate for Treasury Secretary. His inclusion would underscore Trump’s willingness to take innovative approaches that align with his vision for governance.
