Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, voiced strong support for a potential unity government between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) and Donald Trump.
Hoskinson took to X (Twitter) to praise Kennedy’s recent speech, addressing significant concerns about the current state of U.S. democracy, media influence, and corporate control.Â
He also emphasized the importance of fostering a pro-cryptocurrency administration and expressed his optimism for a future where Trump and Kennedy could collaborate in this regard.
RFK Jr. Joins Trump In Crypto-Backed Unity Government
After opting to back the former president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who had previously run for the White House as an Independent, joined Donald Trump at a rally in Arizona. Kennedy, who is a descendant of the Kennedy political dynasty, chose to leave the Democratic Party despite having long been a member of it.
He expressed his support for Trump and said that his decision was guided by his convictions. Kennedy declared during a press conference in Phoenix that he would take his name off the ballot in ten states that were considered to be battlegrounds. He backed Trump because he was the only viable option for a powerful America.
Trump, in turn, welcomed Kennedy to the stage at the rally in Glendale, Arizona, calling him “phenomenal” and “brilliant.” Democratic rival Kamala Harris responded by stating her determination to “earn” the support of Kennedy’s voters, signalling her continued focus on uniting the Democratic base despite this high-profile defection.
Hoskinson primarily believes that a Trump-RFK Jr. administration may promote a pro-cryptocurrency position, which is why he is in favour of it. He implied that Kennedy would be a major player in the Trump administration, advancing measures that would be favourable to cryptocurrencies.
Hoskinson also expressed worries about the status of the American economy under a Harris presidency, speculating that it would result in corporate domination, state-sponsored censorship, and possibly even the demise of the country’s cryptocurrency sector.
The Crypto Community Gears Up
Kennedy’s decision to back Trump was a turning point, but the larger crypto community has also been paying attention. If this unity government materialises, many anticipate a dramatic change in the U.S. government’s stance on crypto legislation.
Kennedy gained notoriety throughout his campaign for taking a pro-cryptocurrency stance, especially at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference. Many in the cryptocurrency world found this to be true, including Bill Morgan, who agreed with Hoskinson and supported Kennedy as the most pro-crypto contender running. He claims that even if the Crypto4Harris group is critical of the current administration’s approach to cryptocurrency regulation, they have persisted in endorsing Kamala Harris.
Hoskinson’s speech reflected the seriousness of choices made in the 20th century. It emphasised that America is at a crossroads between authoritarianism and freedom. He urged people to fight for the future and refrain from looking to any one person to save them from their problems. He calls for a unity government built on values, ideals, and honesty.
