  • He argued the bill favored established cryptocurrencies while burdening new entrants and creating a framework susceptible to political weaponisation.<\/span><\/li>\n

    Charles Hoskinson has warned that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act could take more than a decade to become usable in practice, arguing that the bill risks extending uncertainty across the crypto sector instead of resolving it.<\/p>\n

    In a recent statement to CoinDesk, the Cardano (ADA) founder said the legislation could face as much as 15 years of rulemaking before it becomes operational.<\/p>\n

    He described the bill as a \u201cFrankenstein\u2019s monster,\u201d arguing that its complexity would slow implementation and leave the industry waiting through years of agency interpretation and regulatory delays.<\/p>\n

    The bill passed the US House in July 2025 by a 294-134 vote, becoming the most expansive crypto market structure legislation to clear either chamber. But its progress has since been held up by disagreements over stablecoin yield provisions.<\/p>\n

    Hoskinson Is Not a Great Fan of the Bill<\/h2>\n

    Hoskinson\u2019s core argument is that the act tries to regulate a global and decentralised industry through a narrow US legislative framework. He said the bill focuses too heavily on limited domestic disputes instead of building a broader policy structure that can work across borders and adapt to how crypto markets actually operate.<\/p>\n

    He also warned that the framework could be used differently depending on which party controls federal agencies in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    In his view, that creates a risk that the law could be weaponised by either side of US politics.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s also unlikely to survive this administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    He pointed to a post-FTX regulatory climate in which new token projects have often been treated as securities by default, and argued that the legislation would reinforce that pattern rather than correct it.<\/p>\n

    Hoskinson said the likely result would be an uneven market structure. Larger and more established assets such as Cardano, XRP and Ethereum would be better positioned under current enforcement trends, while newer projects could face higher barriers to entry.<\/p>\n

    His remarks also included a call for White House AI and Crypto Advisor David Sacks to step down, underscoring his broader dissatisfaction with the administration\u2019s policy direction.<\/p>\n
