Charles Hoskinson on the Clarity Act, privacy infrastructure, and what he would tell himself before Cardano
Charles Hoskinson — Co-Founder of Ethereum, Founder & CEO of Input Output Global (Cardano)
Eighty four minutes, unscripted. Charles makes the case that the Clarity Act needs a full overhaul rather than amendments, demos the Midnight Passport live, defends the fourth generation blockchain framing, and answers the hardest question about privacy chains head on: what happens when bad actors show up.
“Clarity is good for me in its current form. If it passes, the things I’ve built are not securities and my competitors will be. But I’m looking at it as an industry.”Watch the full interview →

About the Crypto Coin Show
The Crypto Coin Show is a long form video interview series covering blockchain, digital assets, and the companies building them. Host Ashton Addison sits down with founders, investors, exchange operators, protocol engineers, and the lawyers and regulators shaping the rules, in conversations that run long enough to get past the pitch deck.
The show has published more than 1,500 interviews since 2014, making it one of the longest running independent video archives in the industry. New episodes publish weekly on YouTube, where the channel has passed 150,000 subscribers, and selected interviews are syndicated through Reuters and Refinitiv TV to an institutional audience of roughly 600,000 finance professionals.
Coverage spans Bitcoin and Ethereum, DeFi and stablecoins, real world asset tokenization, institutional crypto and ETFs, Layer 1 and Layer 2 infrastructure, and the growing overlap between AI and blockchain. Episodes are recorded remotely and on location at major industry conferences throughout the year.
The Crypto Coin Show is produced by BlockWest Media, and won Best Interviews in 2022 and again in 2025.
