Charles Hoskinson, a prominent name in the blockchain world and one of the founders of Cardano and Ethereum, recently issued a wake-up call to Trump's new DeFi platform World Liberty Financial. He worried that this move could push the cryptocurrency world to the forefront of politics, casting a political color on the originally technology-driven field.
Hoskinson's concerns are not groundless. He is worried that Trump's new platform may be like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up ripples, not only causing the cryptocurrency field to fall into political polarization, but also attracting close attention and investigation from regulators. This undoubtedly puts a yoke on the industry's original booming innovation and growth momentum, and people can't help but sweat for the future of cryptocurrency.
What's more serious is that every move of Trump seems to have become a "thorn in the eye" of the left-wing camp, which is very likely to trigger strong opposition. This means that Trump's DeFi platform is likely to encounter fierce resistance from the Democratic camp, making it difficult to move forward amid controversy and questioning.
Hoskinson's warning is like a beacon, illuminating the potential reefs on the road ahead for cryptocurrencies. At this critical moment, the entire industry needs to think deeply: how to maintain technological innovation while avoiding being coerced by political forces to ensure that cryptocurrencies can develop along a healthy and sustainable track.
