Anticipation develops in the crypto world before the White House cryptography summit for Friday, March 7, 2025. This first event of its kind should play a crucial role in the future of American cryptography policy, perhaps launching a reserve of American strategic crypto. Several key industry personalities, including members of the working group on the crypto of former president Donald Trump, should attend.
However, as the guest list began to take shape, a notable name is missing: the co-founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson. According to Unchained, a source from the White House confirmed that Hoskinson was not invited to the summit, and Cardano was not involved in discussions or political meetings with the administration.
“They run in town trying to push their own kind of story. They are not involved in anything about the essay to influence politics and they are not invited to the summit on Friday, “said the source of the White House Unchained.
The absence of Hoskinson is particularly surprising given the recent comments of President Trump. Trump said on Sunday that Ad de Cardano would be part of a crypto reserve, which led a lot to expect the presence of Hoskinson during the event.
Confirmed guests for the summit
Despite the exclusion of Hoskinson, several leaders of the high -level cryptographic industry will be present. The list of experienced guests includes:
- Brad Garlinghouse – CEO of Ripple
- Michael Saylor – Founder of Microstrategy
- David Bailey – CEO of Bitcoin magazine
- Matt Huang – Co-founder of paradigm

- Sergey Nazarov – Co-founder of Chainlink
- Brian Armstrong – CEO of Coinbase
- Vlad Tenev – CEO of Robinhood
- Arjun Sethi – CEO of Kraken
- Kris Marszalek – CEO of crypto.com
Hoskinson had previously suggested that he could attend a fundraising dinner for the Pro-Crypto Pac Maga Inc., but the White House confirmed that he was not invited to this event either.
Key Focus of the Summit
The summit is expected to take place from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on March 7 and will be led by David Sacks, President Trump named IA and Crypto Czar. One of the main discussion points will be the treatment of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Commerce secretary Howard Lunick said in a recent interview that Bitcoin would be treated differently from other altcoins, as it is an important part of President Trump’s cryptographic strategy.
