Past visits and appearances
This, of course, will not be Hoskinson’s first DC visit. Hoskinson made his first notable appearance in May 2022 to lobby regulators in Washington.
In June 2022, Hoskinson testified in person before a U.S. House subcommittee, which remains his most documented appearance on Capitol Hill to date.
In November 2024, the Cardano founder confirmed that he was heading to DC once again. In March, he shared several pictures of himself sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and looking out over the Reflecting Pool.

Earlier this year, after the U.S. government adopted a way more favorable stance toward crypto, Hoskinson confirmed that he had had a series of private meetings with US senators.
Hoskinson stated that it was “wonderful” to have a “frank” conversation with US lawmakers, adding that Washington is finally open for business, and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole was being listened to.
He previously predicted that crypto had the potential to “revolutionize” the entire US financial markets.
