The White House will host a cryptocurrency summit on March 7, bringing together industry leaders and policymakers, marking an important step by the Trump administration to advance U.S. digital asset policy.
David Sacks, the White House's AI and cryptocurrency affairs lead, announced on February 28 on the X platform that President Trump will host the summit, engaging with notable founders, CEOs, and investors. According to a White House press release, Trump will deliver remarks at the event, which will be chaired by Sacks, the head of the President's Digital Asset Working Group, and organized by Executive Director Bo Hines.
On March 2, Sacks revealed that Trump has announced the establishment of a Crypto Strategic Reserve, which includes top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, in accordance with his Executive Order 14178 (E.O. 14178). He emphasized that Trump is fulfilling his commitment to "make America a global cryptocurrency hub," with more details to be announced at the summit.
Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett stated that this summit is the first in a series of meetings, replacing the previously proposed "Cryptocurrency Advisory Committee" to drive policy development. An invite list of about 25 people has been confirmed, but the specific names have not yet been made public.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse plans to travel to Washington and may attend the summit. This meeting highlights the Trump administration's focus on cryptocurrency regulation, which could influence future policy-making and facilitate cooperation between the government and the industry.
