๐จ BREAKING: White House to Host Major Crypto Summit on August 19! ๐จ
Washington is officially treating crypto and prediction markets as core financial infrastructure. President Trump is expected to meet with top industry leaders, Wall Street titans, and federal regulators for a high-stakes policy roundtable at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Here is everything you need to know:
๐ฅ Whoโs at the Table?
Crypto & Prediction Markets: Coinbase, Ripple, Kalshi, Polymarket, Kraken, Gemini, Robinhood, Chainlink, a16z, and Paradigm.
TradFi & Infrastructure: NYSE, Nasdaq, CME, ICE, and DTCC.
Top Regulators: SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, and senior Treasury & Commerce officials.
๐ Why It Matters Now:
CLARITY Act Stalling: With the Senate's CLARITY Act odds dipping to ~10%, federal agencies are taking the wheel to shape regulations without waiting for new legislation.
Shift to Agency Oversight: SEC and CFTC are actively asserting jurisdiction over prediction markets, token issuers, and digital commodities.
๐๏ธ What to Watch Next:
August 20: The CFTCโs Innovation Advisory Committee holds its first public session on "Cryptoโs Regulatory Evolution."
Mid-September: A critical Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY Act requiring 60 votes to move forward.
