LATEST: Charles Hoskinson Clueless About ADA’s Selection for US Reserve

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has not been invited to the upcoming White House Crypto Summit set for March 7 even though ADA token is included in President Trump’s crypto reserve proposal. His exclusion has raised eyebrows across the cryptocurrency community. Hoskinson revealed his non-invite status in a recent broadcast stressing that real policy impact does not hinge on such events but rather through sustained legislative efforts.

Despite his absence notable crypto figures like Michael Saylor Brian Armstrong Arjun Sethi and Vlad Tenev are confirmed attendees. Hoskinson continues to advocate for regulatory clarity engaging with lawmakers to influence legislation related to stablecoins and market structures.

Shockingly ADA’s inclusion in the proposed crypto reserve was unknown to Hoskinson until recently. He was bombarded with congratulatory messages last Sunday morning oblivious to ADA’s selection which underscores the surprising and significant role Cardano is poised to play in shaping U.S. cryptocurrency strategy.

LATEST: New Hampshire House Committee Passes Bitcoin Bill with Strong Support

New Hampshire House committee overwhelmingly passed the Bitcoin reserve bill with a 16-1 vote on March 5. The bill now heads to the House floor for a full vote positioning New Hampshire alongside states like North Carolina Oklahoma and Texas awaiting similar decisions. The House Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee’s approval marks a significant step for House Bill 302 which could allow the state treasurer to invest in digital assets and precious metals.

Authored by Republican Keith Ammon and co-sponsored by Democrats Chris McAleer and Carry Spier the bill specifies investments up to 5% of various state funds into eligible digital assets. Bitcoin currently stands as the primary candidate under this bill due to its substantial market capitalization over the past year. Additionally the bill would enable investments in gold silver and platinum providing a diversified investment approach.

During the committee session Keith Ammon highlighted modifications to the bill including the exclusion of stablecoins and staking options. New Hampshire’s Treasurer Monica Mezzapelle has shown interest in utilizing this new investment opportunity should the bill pass which signals a progressive shift towards integrating cryptocurrency into state-level financial strategies.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Stablecoins Or No Crypto In 2025: Here’s What Readers Choose – Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) Common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest (ARCA:BTC)

Many cryptocurrencies soared to new all-time highs after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

With 2025 underway and Trump in the White House, Benzinga recently asked readers which cryptocurrencies they are buying.

What Happened: Trump recently announced plans for a strategic crypto reserve and a meeting of several cryptocurrency experts at the White House on Friday has created optimism that the federal government will be buying crypto.

Before the strategic crypto reserve was announced by Trump with possible cryptocurrency choices, Benzinga polled readers asking about 2025.

“Which crypto asset are you most likely to invest in during 2025?” Benzinga asked.

Senate vote against DeFi broker rule a ‘hopeful sign’

Some believe the Senate’s vote to overturn the so-called DeFi broker rule is a win that goes beyond this specific issue.

If you need a refresher, the IRS revealed a rule in December that sought to force tax reporting requirements on crypto software providers — even those not acting as intermediaries.

Fast forward to the following month, when the overwhelmingly pro-crypto Congress was sworn in. Two days after Trump’s inauguration, Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Mike Carey floated a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to reverse the rule.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said in…

US crypto reserve clarification coming? Wait til Friday.

Many in the US woke up Wednesday to bitcoin back above $90,000.

After Donald Trump mentioned five tokens in his Sunday post about a crypto reserve, prices soared. BTC included (despite confusion from some about why this wouldn’t be a BTC-only reserve).  

Bitcoin ascended to about $95,000 Sunday, but essentially lost all those gains Monday. It traded in the mid-80s for much of Tuesday. 

The early Wednesday surge wasn’t because Trump mentioned BTC in his address to Congress Tuesday night. He didn’t. 

Rather it came after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly said a…

What’s the strike price on Trump’s put? 

This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe.

After wiping out the last of their “Trump bump” gains, US equities were surprisingly calm Wednesday following their tariff-fueled selloff earlier in the week. 

Given today’s mild gains come after a particularly spirited address from President Trump last night, during which he doubled down in defense of his trade policies, I’m betting investors are expecting the powers that be to step in. 

Whether this comes in the form of a “Fed put” or a “Trump put” is anyone’s guess. To be fair, investors probably don’t care which, as long as stocks start to see some… Read more on Blockworks
