NAIROBI (CoinChapter.com) — Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano blockchain, sparked speculation about a possible SpaceX partnership after posting a photo on X on Nov. 14. Standing in front of a SpaceX rocket, he captioned the image, “It was a good day,” leaving followers questioning the reason behind his visit.
Is a SpaceX Partnership with Cardano in the Works?
Crypto influencer Big Pey highlighted the post, reminding users that Hoskinson recently mentioned he was about to sign “the biggest deal” of his life. Many Cardano supporters began speculating about collaborating with Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
However, no official announcement has confirmed any partnership. Past statements from Hoskinson show his admiration for Musk and his interest in blockchain’s role in cutting-edge technology. Yet, there’s no evidence to link his SpaceX visit with any deal involving Cardano.
Hoskinson’s photo has fueled excitement, but the timing may align more with his focus on crypto regulations than any collaboration.
Hoskinson’s Push for Crypto Regulation
While the SpaceX buzz grows, Hoskinson is ramping up efforts to influence U.S. crypto policy. He recently revealed plans to create a new policy division within Input Output Global (IOG). The office will focus on building bipartisan support for key legislative acts like the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) and the Responsible Financial Innovation Act (RFIA).
Hoskinson outlined his role in shaping U.S. crypto regulations during a livestream. He dismissed claims that he would lead U.S. crypto policy, emphasizing instead that he would contribute to the process in some capacity. He explained that his new policy office will tackle key issues, including asset classification, stablecoins, and taxation.
Hoskinson stressed the importance of bipartisan efforts, noting that FIT21 passed the House with support from 61 Democrats. He believes the current political environment provides a unique opportunity to establish clear rules for the crypto industry. “This is the best chance we’ve had in the history of the industry to get clarity,” he said.
