Hoskinson’s Views on Trump Coin
The latest video shared by the CryptosRUs on X features Charles Hoskinson sharing his opinion on the upcoming Clarity Bill. The aforementioned bill talks about holistic crypto regulation and was supposed to launch earlier but now has been delayed to 2026.
Hoskinson shared how he believes the launch of the Trump Coin memecoin played an elemental role in delaying the bill, adding how the launch made it hard “for Democrats to support the bill.”
“But there’s been a lot that Trump has done that’s been very frustrating to me, like Trump Point and World Liberty. I think he has, as a private citizen. Every right to do these things, but he has to understand that he’s not divorced from the optics of the decisions he makes. And if your goal is to create a regulatory framework. You don’t go do something and then create a regulatory framework. You create the framework, and then you do that thing in honor of that framework. So I’m not saying don’t launch Trump Point or World Liberty. Just wait until the Clarity Act is passed and launch it in the new framework. Then it’s objective, and it’s bipartisan, and everybody already agreed to those rules.“
Hoskinson shared how the Trump Coin launch changed the entire dynamic related to the clairity bill.
“The minute that TrumpCoin got launched, it went from crypto is bipartisan to crypto equals Trump equals bad, equals corruption. And it became a campaign line for 2026 in the midterm election. So it’s really been hard for Democrats to cross the aisle and vote on the bill, because in many ways, it appears politically like they’re endorsing the Trump administration and World Liberty Finance and TrumpCoin.So that wasn’t helpful at all.”
Latest Update on Clarity Bill
Coachty, a prominent finance expert on X, reported that lawmakers have delayed the bill until 2026, with January now the earliest window for renewed momentum.
“🚨 The $CLARITY Act—the U.S. crypto market structure bill—has been delayed until 2026 as Senate action stalls. This means federal regulatory clarity for digital #assets won’t happen this year, keeping the industry in limbo 📉. No law = more uncertainty. More delay = more debates. But the conversation isn’t over—it’s just paused.
