His statement has sparked discussions within the crypto community about the nature and intent of Trump’s cryptocurrency policies.
No Invitation to White House Crypto Summit

What This Means for Cardano and the Crypto Market
Trump’s acknowledgment of $ADA as part of a proposed crypto reserve could boost Cardano’s credibility and adoption. However, the lack of communication between Trump’s team and Cardano’s leadership highlights potential gaps in the former president’s crypto strategy. As the U.S. moves toward greater regulatory clarity on digital assets, the role of major blockchain projects like Cardano remains uncertain.
