Cardano and Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson expressed deep concern over the new DeFi platform venture of former President Donald Trump known as World Liberty Financial.

Speaking in interviews, Hoskinson said the venture is likely to turn into a political flashpoint. This might add to the already delicate situation surrounding regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United States.

Through his comments, the executive expressed an emerging discomfort about seeing how politics is penetrating into the digital finance world from the top echelons of the industry.

Trump: Political Polarization And Crypto

The biggest fear Hoskinson has is political polarization due to Trump in crypto. According to him, “Everything Trump does, the left hates with such a passion,” suggesting that Trump’s actions might provoke a backlash from Democrats.

This could result in investigations by regulatory bodies like the Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission, potentially stifling innovation and growth within the industry.

According to the Cardano founder, although Trump presents himself as a pro-crypto candidate, the history of high staff turnover at the White House raises all kinds of concerns in regards to his ability to create a clear policy for cryptocurrency.

Moreover, Hoskinson criticized both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to present a vision for the future of crypto in America. He believes that neither leader demonstrates enough sophistication in understanding the complexity surrounding regulation of cryptocurrency.

This is particularly alarming because both are positioning themselves for positions of leadership in America at a time when adoption of cryptocurrency across the world is increasing geometrically.
