Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has suggested Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong as a top candidate for the proposed crypto policy role in Donald Trump’s second administration.
In a Nov. 20 post on X, Hoskinson outlined key qualifications for a “Crypto-Czar,” emphasizing neutrality, collaboration across protocols, and a firm grasp of crypto’s unique value. He also criticized the current administration’s regulatory missteps in the sector.
Hoskinson argued that Armstrong’s leadership at Coinbase makes him an ideal fit. Under Armstrong’s guidance, Coinbase became the largest crypto exchange in the US and one of the first publicly traded crypto companies.
Hoskinson highlighted Armstrong’s resilience in navigating the government’s regulatory challenges and pointed out his ability to unite the industry and spearhead legislative progress
