Crypto leaders, including Coinbase and Chainlink, will meet with President Trump to discuss regulation and digital assets.
Trump Hosts First White House Crypto Summit
President Donald Trump is set to host a high-profile crypto summit at the White House this Friday, gathering top executives from the industry. The event comes amid major regulatory shifts, with the administration signaling a more favorable stance toward digital assets.
Top Crypto Executives in Attendance
The summit will feature executives from Coinbase, Chainlink, Exodus, and Strategy, among others. Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), Sergey Nazarov (Chainlink Labs), J.P. Richardson (Exodus), and Michael Saylor (Strategy) have confirmed their attendance. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev also hinted at his participation via a social media post.
SEC Cases Dropped Ahead of the Event
In a move that has raised eyebrows, the SEC recently dropped its cases against Coinbase and Robinhood, two firms that reportedly made seven-figure donations to Trump’s inaugural committee. Other crypto giants, including Ripple and Circle, also contributed to Trump’s campaign, though their attendance remains unconfirmed.
Unclear Agenda, High Stakes for Crypto Regulation
While the White House has not disclosed specific policy topics, insiders expect the summit to cover:
- Regulatory clarity for crypto businesses
- The U.S. strategic crypto reserve proposal
- Stablecoins, DeFi, and their role in the financial system
Shaping the Future of Crypto Policy
With Trump’s administration actively restructuring federal oversight on crypto, this summit could set the foundation for the next phase of U.S. crypto regulation. Industry leaders are closely watching whether this signals long-term policy commitments or merely political maneuvering.
