<p><a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1788462399369937198" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Responding</a> to a comment saying that the administration before Biden was not exactly open to crypto, Hoskinson responded that the previous administration ignored the industry, while the current US President “has engaged in a coordinated effort to kill crypto.”</p> 
<p>Hoskinson explained that over the past years, the US government has hurt the crypto industry “in every way possible.”</p> 
<p>He cited the restricted access to bank accounts, the SEC’s policy of regulation by enforcement, and the White House “obstructing” the legislative process.</p> 
<p>In a May 8 statement, the White House said that it strongly opposes members of the House of Representatives seeking to pass a joint resolution that would allegedly disrupt the SEC’s efforts “to protect investors in the crypto asset markers and to safeguard the broader financial system.” (<a href="https://financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=409247#:~:text=%E2%80%9CSAB%20121%20requires%20financial%20institutions,the%20existing%20prudential%20regulatory%20framework." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SAB 121</a>)</p> 
<p>The Resolution is <a href="https://twitter.com/USRepMikeFlood/status/1753149720518635962" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">H.J.Res 109</a>, and it was introduced in the House back in February. This requires banks to keep customers’ crypto on their balance sheets with capital maintained against them.</p> 
<p>Hoskinson comments come following the Biden administration’s efforts to discourage banks from holding crypto in custody.</p> 
<p>Hoskinson also lashed out at the SEC for leveraging old legislation that should not be applied to new and emerging class assets.</p> 
<blockquote>
 <p>“The Securities Exchange Act passed in 1933, to say that it is sufficient to regulate assets that came 90 years later is an absurd statement.”</p>

<p>Trump appeared in a meeting to tell a group of buyers for his NFTs that the crypto persecution days will be over.</p>
