Shiba Inu Leader Mocks Cardano’s Hoskinson Over US Crypto Collaboration

Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, publicly mocked Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, over his alleged relations with the incoming Trump administration on crypto policy. The tension unfolded over X, drawing significant attention from the crypto community.

As reported earlier, Charles Hoskinson has expressed plans to engage with lawmakers to foster clear and beneficial regulations for the crypto industry. He intends to establish a dedicated policy division within his company, Input Output Global, aimed at influencing the development of a legislative framework that supports crypto innovation.

Speculation has arisen that Hoskinson could serve as a leading crypto policy advisor in the Trump administration, fueled by his connections and past endorsements of figures within Trump’s circle, such as Robert Kennedy Jr.

Over the past two days, Hoskinson conducted two live streams where he elaborated on his intentions and connections to work with the Trump administration on crypto policy in 2025. However, Shytoshi Kusama took to social media to question Hoskinson’s claims, suggesting that the Cardano founder might be overstating his influence.

Kusama retweeted a post by popular YouTuber AltcoinDaily, which stated: “Cardano Founder to work with Trump Administration on crypto policy in 2025.” He commented skeptically, “Seriously?!!!!” In a subsequent post, Kusama added, “Oh I see the wording now. Guess that’s why he announced it and not Trump Administration. Lol.”
