Charles Hoskinson, CEO of Input Output Global (IOG), the firm responsible for Cardano R&D activities, addressed crypto regulations before the United States House of Representatives Committee. The meeting was organised on June 23, 2022. Hoskinson has asked legislators to develop policies that are beneficial to the crypto sector.
While crypto-related enterprises have repeatedly demanded strict enforcement for the nascent industry, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the two financial authorities are still arguing over crypto industry authority.
Need for Self-certification system, Cardano CEO
Cardano CEO has recently testified in the United States House Committee on Exchanges, Energy, and Finance in an effort to seek strict enforcement of the crypto sector.

He also stated that it is difficult for one person or institution to govern all cryptocurrencies. Regulation may become automated, and the benefit of Cryptocurrency is that its operations include metadata and identification of the process itself. So, one seems to have some type of self-certification by a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) and also no government intervention until an error is found by the program. As a result, the self-certification approach may be supervised by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or SEC, in the same way that those other financial systems are.
Hoskinson admitted that policymakers would be unable to give better regulation for every crypto asset due to the vast number of initiatives in existence, which has surpassed a number of 20,000 over the years.
Although, he did advise that US authorities focus on techniques that can enable crypto enforcement simpler.
The Cardano CEO stated that authorities and lawmakers could choose to sit back and state their concerns about governing the sector. These worries will be merged into a framework, such as forming a Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO).
He went on to say that the current government institutions entrusted with regulating the cryptocurrency sector should only get engaged in cryptocurrency regulation for any error spotted by the algorithm. Hoskinson also stated that the US government may form a public-private relationship in the crypto industry, as it accomplished in the early days of the web.
Hoskinson lobbying for good policies
Hoskinson has been lobbying for good policies for the cryptocurrency market for a long time. This forced him to travel to Washington to persuade officials for favourable legislation for the business.
Hoskinson is widely considered one of the most influential leaders in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors. His efforts are one of the factors propelling the cryptocurrency market ahead.
The Cardano CEO was influential in the founding of Ethereum in 2015, which has become the second-largest cryptocurrency in market value. Cardano is now a popular blockchain because of its efficiency, cheap transaction costs, and extensibility.
