Hoskinson Answers

The unexpected measures taken by Etoro prompted a response de charles hoskinson, the founder of Cardano. Hoskinson talked about the general regulatory uncertainty problems that cryptocurrency faces in the world, and especially in the U.S. On the subject, Hoskinson stated:

It appears to be an adjustment in risk control and policy for a particular European entity and liquidity was reduced there for US participants.

Al mismo tiempo, Bitstamp, another European cryptocurrency exchange, has announced it will be including cardano on its platform. This would support the aforementioned assessment by Hoskinson, which suggests Etoros constriction is just a specific action by a single platform, and not symbolic of an overall trend of exclusion.
