Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson names 4 ‘domain experts’ to Trump’s Crypto Summit

Donald Trump is hosting a Crypto Summit in the White House this Friday to gather insights with cryptocurrency industry leaders. On that, Charles Hoskinson, from Cardano, recently named four “domain experts” who he believes should be “in the room” with Trump.

In a video clip shared by Angry Crypto Show on X, Hoskinson names Leemon Baird, Silvio Micali, Avery Ching, and Beniamin Mincu as industry leaders who should be invited to the closed-door event. These are representatives and/or core developers of Hedera (HBAR), Algorand (ALGO), Aptos (APT), and MultiversX (EGLD), respectively.

“There are many domain experts who need to be in the room, like Leemon Baird from HBAR, or Silvio Micali from ALGO, or Avery Ching from APT, or Beniamin Mincu from EGLD. They understand every dimension of the industry.”

Who is invited to the White House Crypto Summit?

Many unconfirmed lists of supposedly invited names to the White House Crypto Summit have been circulating on the web. Nevertheless, most are either highly speculative or intentionally fake lists, requiring caution.

Right now, one of the most trusted sources on the matter is Eleanor Terrett, from Fox Business, verifying each name. Eleanor has been checking the candidates and confirming each one individually through a series of posts on X.

So far, the journalist has confirmed the following participants for Donald Trump’s White House Crypto Summit:

Vlad Tenev, Robinhood CEO;
Arjun Sethi, Kraken CEO;
Michael Saylor, Strategy Founder and Executive Chairman;
Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO;
Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink (LINK);
Kyle Samani, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital;
Zack Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI);
JP Richardson, Exodus CEO;
Matt Huang, co-founder of Paradigm;
David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine;
Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini;
Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini;
Kris, CEO of CryptoCom.

Notably, there are no Ethereum (ETH), Ripple’s XRP, Solana (SOL), or Cardano representatives among Terrett’s confirmations. This is surprising, considering Trump has shown support to these cryptocurrencies, hinting at adding them to the U.S. reserves.

Nevertheless, it is still soon to take conclusions as the confirmations are increasing overtime. The market has all eyes on the meeting that could open doors for both bullish or bearish decisions moving forward.
