Trump to speak at Digital Asset Summit in historic first for a sitting president

Donald Trump will reportedly address the Digital Asset Summit in New York on March 20, marking the first time a sitting US president has spoken at a cryptocurrency conference. His speech, confirmed by Blockworks, will be delivered via a recorded video at 10:40 am.

Trump’s presence highlights his pro-crypto stance, a stark contrast to the Biden administration’s regulatory crackdowns. Since taking office, Trump has pushed for policies favoring digital assets, including forming a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and appointing pro-crypto regulators.

While details of his speech remain unknown, the industry hopes for more clarity on regulations, including stablecoins and taxation.
