Throughout the clip, Charles speaks directly to the camera, briefly adjusting his collar, as he addresses the question regarding the Clarity Act, the regulatory landscape, and the maturity of blockchains like Cardano and Midnight ($ADA, $NIGHT). > > "Charles shares his thoughts on the Clarity Act "Cardano will be a mature blockchain, Midnight will be a mature blockchain, so I don't worry about the regulatory reality for us, but there are challenges in the industry." $ADA $NIGHT [Spoken audio]: Thoughts on clarity and the dense stance, you know, the challenge is that I agree actually with some of the things Democrats are saying I disagree vehemently that crypto Ecos corruption equals bad, or the entire industry is evil and bad. But the thing about clarity is that It's a mixed bag of good and bad, but you got to understand that the CFTC only currently has a number of 530 people. And for comparison, the Securities Exchange Commission is under 10,000, but it's like a massive organization. So the SEC is just vastly larger and more comprehensive. And if you're taking things that would traditionally be done by the SEC and put them, excuse me, by the SEC and put them under the CFTC, there's no way they can facilitate that without a budget increase. So that's just one of many structural issues that are gonna have to be resolved through either a future budget reconciliation or through some form of rulemaking or fine and fee system like the CFPB. So the practicality of implementing it, I don't think they fully thought it through and they've improved it. They've added developer protections in 604. And a few other things that are good, and I do believe they move the ball forward. But it's a compromise, the bill, and it's a very comprehensive bill, and it's a challenging one. Cardano will be a mature blockchain, Midnight will be a mature blockchain, so I don't worry about the regulatory reality for us, but there are challenges in the industry. And the Democrats want ethics concessions. They don't like the idea that the president should be a participant in the market. Mr. President, his special powers shouldn't be doing things in the market, so they would like a statutory reflection of that, and that would kill the bill, so that's why they're trying to put it in." ### Post #2 by @BobbyO_ > **Author:** Cloud Foundation ([@BobbyO_](https://x.com/BobbyO_)) > **Metrics:** 207 likes · 68 retweets · 32 comments · 12.6K views > **Posted:** 2026-06-12T17:14:11+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/BobbyO_/status/2065482811834798573](https://x.com/BobbyO_/status/2065482811834798573) > **Video Content:** [caption-skipped: too old] > > "THE FINAL CHAPTER: MY LAST REACTION VIDEO TO CHARLES HOSKINSON From the livestream "Why Cardano is the only ecosystem that can run the world" $ICP $ADA $NIGHT @IOHK_Charles" ### Post #3 by @StakeWithPride > **Author:** Stake with Pride ([@StakeWithPride](https://x.com/StakeWithPride)) > **Metrics:** 166 likes · 17 retweets · 12 comments · 9.2K views > **Posted:** 2026-06-12T20:22:21+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/StakeWithPride/status/2065530164914831816](https://x.com/StakeWithPride/status/2065530164914831816) > **Video Content:** A bearded man with glasses speaks directly to the camera in a room featuring a wooden wall and a large illuminated map of the United States behind him, while a YouTube comment overlay with the handle "@mac3025" appears on the lower left. The video rapidly cuts between his speaking clips as he discusses an event involving a "Hawthorne facility," "Cardano," and an "astronaut," with prominent on-screen subtitles transcribing his words. The captions highlight a potential partnership for a "massive marketing event" involving a training "facility" and a "network of partners," ultimately concluding that the "price was too high and the market" couldn't support the venture. > > "The @IOHK_Charles SpaceX NDA was literally to send Cardano and Midnight holders to space via Vast, a spaceship by Stellar founder. $NIGHT [Spoken audio]: So what happened with NDA and SpaceX is pretty straightforward. So I went up to Hawthorne Facility, and one of the ideas that we came up with that we thought would have been a really cool marketing idea was to buy out a SpaceX mission and then have some of the seats be available for Cardano and Midnight community members. So the basic idea is that if you hold ADA or you hold Midnight, you'd be eligible to apply for a professional job to be an astronaut. you'd actually train with me and we'd go to space and it was a roll-up with Vast and Vast is actually made by Jed McKellop. He's the guy who started Mt. Gox and sold it to Mark Carpalies and later on set up Stellar. And so now he's making space stations and the very first mission would be to set up the Vast space station. So you get to be astronauts, go to space, do the whole thing and going to be Cardano and Midnight in Space. So we went there and we negotiated, we tried to find a good price point on the mission, but it just couldn't quite get where we needed to be. But we talked about a lot of different options, a lot of different things that could be done. Yeah, but they're a great company and it was a lot of fun to be there. And we kept coming back and saying, yeah, you know, maybe next three months, next three months. And we kept the channels open with VAS. But we thought that that was gonna be a massive marketing event for Cardano. And it was a really good way to start a strong relationship with SpaceX, because if you actually go up one of their things, you become one of their astronauts. You train at their facility, go there every day, meet the people, and it's much more meaningful than like a joint press release or something, something here and there. And almost always there's a lot of, a network of partners who work together. And we thought there was also a lot of cool crossovers between Stellar and Cardano. We just never quite got there, the price was too high and the market conditions didn't go the way that we thought that they were going to go in 2025. But that's what that was all about and it was one of those could have been things. So we'll just have to wait for the next cycle and then we can go to the moon." ### Post #4 by @PlutusPool > **Author:** Plutus ([@PlutusPool](https://x.com/PlutusPool)) > **Metrics:** 102 likes · 13 retweets · 0 comments · 6.3K views > **Posted:** 2026-06-12T06:29:16+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/PlutusPool/status/2065320510192542057](https://x.com/PlutusPool/status/2065320510192542057) > **Video Content:** [caption-skipped: too old] > > "Update about @TapTools from @IOHK_Charles Will Taptools get embedded into Midnight City or @lace_io $NIGHT $ADA" ### Post #5 by @StakeWithPride > **Author:** Stake with Pride ([@StakeWithPride](https://x.com/StakeWithPride)) > **Metrics:** 205 likes · 22 retweets · 6 comments · 4.7K views > **Posted:** 2026-06-12T15:54:04+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/StakeWithPride/status/2065462648435851711](https://x.com/StakeWithPride/status/2065462648435851711) > **Video Content:** The video features a man with glasses and a beard, identified as Charles Hoskinson, speaking directly to the camera against a wooden log wall background.

So the first question is, Japan Tour was designed to meet with large companies to introduce midnight alongside Cardano, explain how privacy can be done right. Are there any contracts of the pipeline? Well, there's some we did get done for midnight and it's actually paired with the liquidity of midnight in Japan. So I can't spoil the lead on that one, but that's real exciting.
