📅 October 24 | Washington D.C., United States
A night of luxury, power and cryptocurrencies marked a new chapter in the relationship between politics and digital money. According to The Block, a group of high-profile crypto donors gathered in the main room of Donald Trump's White House, in an event that combined glamor and political strategy.
The meeting, which attracted exchange founders, blockchain fund executives and major Bitcoin whales, raised millions in contributions to push the president's pro-crypto economic agenda.
📖 The event, described by attendees as a “historic evening for the industry,” took place in the White House Grand Ballroom, where Trump gave a powerful speech on the importance of returning financial innovation to the United States.
Among the attendees were Silicon Valley investors, directors of Web3 companies and representatives of funds such as Galaxy Digital and Polychain Capital, who expressed their support for the president's pro-business policies.
Trump, true to his style, did not skimp on words:
"The United States will not lose technological leadership to anyone again. We are going to make this country the home of digital money and financial freedom," declared before a crowd that gave him a standing ovation.
The event raised more than $20 million in a single night, according to sources close to the campaign, and focused on discussing new regulations to attract crypto companies to the US territory, after the exodus caused during the SEC's mandate under Gary Gensler.
Guests enjoyed a gala menu while topics such as institutional Bitcoin adoption, digital asset ETFs, and public infrastructure tokenization were discussed. Several attendees confirmed that a “Crypto Presidential Council” is being prepared, made up of sector leaders, to directly advise the government on digital innovation.
The evening also included the presence of donors linked to crypto super PACs, who seek to channel funds towards legislative campaigns of industry-friendly candidates.
Topic Opinion:
That the main players in the sector are received at the White House is an unequivocal sign that digital financial power has reached the peak of institutional recognition. I believe that these types of alliances can be positive if they promote clear and fair regulations, but the risk is that political proximity generates favoritism or concentration of power within an industry that was born to be decentralized.
