Charles Hoskinson Explains Why Trump Is Better Than Biden For Crypto
In a recent statement by Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano (ADA), he voiced his concerns over the potential impact of the upcoming November 2024 presidential elections on the crypto industry. Hoskinson’s remarks come in response to a report by Blockworks, a crypto insights and news provider, which suggested that only a “fool” would base their vote solely on crypto-related issues. In addition, Hoskinson spotlighted how the Trump administration could be better than Biden.
Hoskinson Opposes Blockworks’ Remark
Hoskinson vehemently opposed the above-mentioned narrative by Blockworks. Moreover, the Cardano founder emphasized the critical importance of crypto in shaping a new social contract that holds governments and corporations accountable to the people. He stated, “Crypto gives us our voices, financial freedom, and shared humanity back. Any politician who wants to rob us of that is dangerous.”
Expressing his stance as a ‘single-issue voter’, Hoskinson highlighted the significance of a presidential candidate’s stance on crypto. He asserted that being anti-crypto equates to the deepest form of totalitarianism. The Cardano founder also emphasized, “Being anti-crypto is the deepest and worst totalitarianism possible. It robs us of our human agency, freedoms, and economic identity.”
Furthermore, Hoskinson warned against the potential consequences of neglecting the crypto industry’s interests in the electoral process. He cautioned that failing to support candidates who prioritize crypto could lead to the implementation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), increased financial surveillance, and limited social mobility.
In addition, he clarified that he isn’t endorsing Biden as some people in the community believe. The Cardano pioneer wrote, “I’m on the left and understand that the 20 percent of America that holds crypto is pretty pissed that Biden caused massive harm to our entire industry arbitrarily and capriciously.”

Cardano Founder Says Trump Is Better Than Biden
Responding to queries regarding his reluctance to mention the other candidate [Donald Trump], Hoskinson addressed the issue directly. stating, “Trump? No, I’m not afraid to mention him.” He portrayed Trump as an ‘average’ president who largely left the crypto industry unhindered, providing an environment conducive to innovation and growth.
“He was an average president and mostly left our industry alone, giving us the ability to build in peace the future of the world,” Cardano’s Hoskinson remarked. In contrast, Hoskinson criticized President Joe Biden’s approach toward the crypto industry.
He also accused him of actively seeking to undermine the industry’s growth. He lamented Biden’s actions, stating, “Biden has served Well’s notices to everyone and their uncle and is actively trying to destroy the American crypto industry.”
The Cardano pioneer further added, “Our industry isn’t about building arbitrary products or debating taxes and regulations.” This reflects on the recent crackdown initiated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Biden administration.

Grayscale Research has released its updated Top 20 list of digital assets, identifying key cryptocurrencies with strong potential for the coming quarter.
The firm updates this curated selection quarterly, reflecting its analysis of network adoption, market trends, and fundamental sustainability.
Grayscale Adds 3 Altcoins to Investment Consideration List
The latest update introduces three new assets—Maple (SYRUP), Geodnet (GEOD), and Story Protocol (IP). This suggests an inclination toward real-world applications in decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and intellectual property (IP) tokenization.
Grayscale organizes the digital asset market into five distinct crypto sectors: currencies, smart contract platforms, financials, consumer & culture, and utilities & services. This framework allows the firm to track industry trends and assess high-growth opportunities within each category.
With the latest rebalancing, the crypto sectors now encompass 227 distinct assets with a total market capitalization of $2.6 trillion, covering the vast majority of the global crypto market.
Maple Finance (SYRUP)
Maple Finance (SYRUP) is a leading DeFi protocol specializing in institutional lending. The project operates through two core platforms: Maple Institutional, designed for accredited investors, and Syrup.fi, which serves DeFi-native users.
Over the past year, Maple Finance has grown significantly, reaching $600 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and $20 million in annualized network fee revenue. The project aims to scale Syrup.fi to $2 billion in TVL by integrating with other DeFi protocols, including Pendle (PENDLE).
Geodnet (GEOD)
Meanwhile, Geodnet (GEOD) has emerged as a leader in the DePIN space. As the world’s largest real-time kinematic positioning provider, the network offers geospatial data with centimeter-level accuracy. It serves industries such as agriculture, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
The network has expanded to include more than 14,000 active devices across 130 countries and has seen its revenue grow substantially. Annualized network fees increased by 500% year-over-year (YoY) to $3 million.
Geodnet’s decentralized approach presents a cost-effective alternative to centralized GPS solutions, positioning it as a critical infrastructure provider in the blockchain space.
Story Protocol (IP)
Story Protocol (IP) is tackling the growing intellectual property space by bringing IP rights onto the blockchain. With AI-generated content sparking copyright disputes, Story Protocol offers a way for companies and creators to monetize their intellectual property. At the same time, it enables investors to trade and earn royalties.
The project has already onboarded high-profile assets, including music rights for Justin Bieber, BTS, Maroon 5, and Katy Perry. It also launched its dedicated IP-focused blockchain and token in February 2025.
Grayscale Removes 3 Altcoins From its List of Investible Products
The latest update also includes the removal of three assets from the Top 20 list, comprising Akash Network (AKT), Arweave (AR), and Jupiter (JUP).
“Grayscale Research continues to see value in each of these projects, and they remain important elements of the crypto ecosystem. However, we believe the revised Top 20 list may offer more compelling risk-adjusted returns for the coming quarter,” the firm explained.
Beyond these new additions, Grayscale continues to highlight key investment themes. These include Ethereum scaling solutions, AI-integrated blockchain development, and DeFi and staking innovations. The continued inclusion of assets like Optimism (OP), Bittensor (TAO), and Lido DAO (LDO) reflects the firm’s focus on these high-growth areas.
Meanwhile, the latest Top 20 update follows Grayscale’s broader expansion into evaluating additional digital assets. In January 2025, the firm revealed nearly 40 altcoins under investment consideration. Similarly, Grayscale announced a list of 35 assets for potential inclusion in investment products in October.

Shiba Inu price has seen strong bullish momentum, gaining another 13.5% and shooting past $0.000015 levels, with its daily trading volume surging by 70% to $370 million. The recent rally comes amid a sharp surge in the SHIB burn rate and improving sentiment for the world’s second-largest meme coin. Additionally, the platform’s marketing lead has also tossed up the idea of having a Shiba Inu exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the future.
Shiba Inu Price Surges As Bulls Charge In
Shiba Inu’s native crypto SHIB is getting major attention from investors with more than 20% gains on the weekly chart. Additionally, today’s SHIB price pump comes along with 70% surge in daily trading volumes suggesting a strong bullish sentiment for the altcoin.
Additionally, as per the Coinglass data, the SHIB futures open interest has surged by 30% to more than $166.74 million. This shows that there’s a strong demand among the futures traders for the world’s second-largest meme coin. As per the image below, the Shiba Inu price is closely following the trajectory of the 2021, and is on the verge of staging a parabolic rally ahead, amid the recent surge in SHIB burn rate.
Analysts are predicting a minimum of 200% SHIB price rally which would take its market cap to nearly $27 billion. While other players expect an even bigger rally where the meme coin could give as high as 12x gains or 1,100% returns.
Can SHIB Rally 12x From Here Onwards?
Popular crypto analyst CryptoELITES predicted a 12x surge in Shiba Inu price amid the formation of a cup-and-handle pattern on the technical chart. Since reaching its all-time high of $0.0008854 in October 2021, SHIB’s price movement has been carving out a cup-and-handle pattern. The “cup” was fully formed with Shiba Inu’s March 2024 peak at $0.00004567, while the “handle” is now nearing completion, as shown in the image below.
Shiba Inu’s marketing lead LUCIE has also agreed to this possibility by retweeting regarding the same. Furthermore, Lucie recently emphasized the potential for Shiba Inu to reach the $0.01 price milestone. However, she acknowledged that achieving this level could take time and encouraged the Shiba Inu community to remain patient.
Recent Developments in the Ecosystem
The Shiba Inu ecosystem has seen consistent growth and development while the sharing the plans of the future. Recently Lucie also tossed the idea of getting a Shiba Inu ETF to the market once again.
Furthermore, despite the current crypto market turbulence, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has demonstrated remarkable growth, surpassing 1.5 million holders since its inception in 2020.

Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov sparked a tidal wave of speculation across the market with his recent selloff strategies. On Wednesday, March 26, Egorov again dumped nearly 2M CRV tokens, bringing his total selloffs to roughly 2.5M coins this week. Therefore, broader aspects surrounding the coin’s future price action remain clouded in an enigma despite an ongoing rally.
Curve Finance Founder Offloads Coins Amid Price Rally
CRV price is currently on a rally, as indicated by intraday and weekly gains of 12% and 23%, respectively. However, Egorov’s selloff transactions amid this upswing have sparked market concerns about a looming dip.
How Many Tokens Have Been Sold?
According to data from Spotonchain on X, the Curve Finance founder transferred 1.997 million tokens worth $1.03 million to the wallet address “0x5a8.” Subsequently, this address sold 1 million coins for 515,058 USDC at an average price of $0.515. Currently, this address still holds 997K tokens.
Besides, Egorov sold 468,769 tokens for 238,171 USDC at an average price of $0.508, per March 24 data.
Why Were The CRV Tokens Sold?
Intriguingly, he purchased these tokens as of mid-December last year at an average price of $1.114. The initial investment made is now at a loss of 54.6%.
While the selloffs come amid a price rally, they might be a potential move to mitigate losses incurred. Nevertheless, broader market sentiments in light of these selloffs remain bearish.
CRV Price Overview
As of press time, Curve DAO coin’s price defied usual market sentiments and pumped 12%, reaching $0.5560. The coin saw a massive pump after hitting a $0.4927 low intraday.
Market analyst ‘CrediBULL Crypto’ posted on X, revealing bullish projections despite the crypto’s sluggish performance. As per the analyst, the CRV/XRP pair indicates a breakout for the Curve Finance token looms.
Considering XRP is still trapped in a range where it is looking for deviation below the lows, CRV is ready to pump, per the analyst. Market watchers reflect an uncertain approach towards the crypto amid recent developments that are unable to clear the muddy waters.
