Trump Hosts First-Ever White House Crypto Summit
The U.S. government is shifting its stance on cryptocurrency. On March 7, 2025, President Donald Trump will hold the first White House crypto symposium, bringing together industry leaders, investors, CEOs, and government officials.
Despite his past criticism of Bitcoin and other digital currencies, this event marks a significant shift in Trump's approach. The summit will feature key figures from the digital asset sector, including members of the President's Working Group on Digital Assets. Venture investor David Sacks will lead the event, with Bo Hines serving as the working group's executive director.
FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett confirmed the summit, announcing it via an X post on Friday, March 7. The gathering could signal a potential policy shift on cryptocurrencies, as many industry players have been pushing for clearer regulations. Discussions are expected to focus on regulation, innovation, and the economic impact of digital assets.
A New Perspective on Crypto
During his first term, Trump was skeptical of Bitcoin, labeling it a fraud in 2019. However, his decision to host this symposium suggests a more open stance. While no official policy changes have been announced,the event indicates a possible shift in direction.
In contrast, the Biden administration has enforced stricter regulations on crypto exchanges and compliance. If Trump adopts a more supportive approach, the U.S. could become a more business-friendly environment for crypto companies.

Beyond politics, the Trump Organization is also exploring digital assets. The company recently filed a trademark application for "TRUMP" to launch an NFT and metaverse trading platform, reflecting Trump's belief in blockchain's potential.
