Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson claimed that if the Democratic Party regains control of Congress in this year's US midterm elections, some industry officials who attended the recent White House cryptocurrency summit could be investigated. According to CryptoBasic, Hoskinson stated this in response to a point that he was not invited to the White House cryptocurrency summit hosted by President Trump. He said, "The White House summit included Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, and Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. As controversies over cryptocurrency businesses linked to the Trump family and alleged collusion between the administration and the industry grow, the nature of cryptocurrency policy is shifting from a bipartisan issue to a political one. The Democratic Party could raise the level of investigation into the relevant industry, citing potential conflicts of interest or corruption." he explained.
