Trump gathers executives from the digital asset market for the first meeting of the Cryptocurrency Summit
The President of the United States (USA), Donald Trump, is set to host more than 25 executives from the digital asset market for the White House Cryptocurrency Summit this Friday (7). According to the newspaper Decrypt, the meeting will likely be led by David Sacks, appointed by Trump as the "Czar of AI and cryptocurrencies."
In addition to market leaders, the summit is expected to include members of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, such as Bo Hines, executive director of the president's advisory council on crypto assets. The participation of Scott Bessent, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, is also likely.
According to Eleanor Terrett, a reporter for Fox Business, among the confirmed CEOs are Brian Armstrong from Coinbase; Vlad Tenev from Robinhood; Arjun Sethi from Kraken; Kris Marszalek from Crypto.com; Brad Garlinghouse from Ripple, David Bailey from Bitcoin Magazine; and JP Richardson from Exodus.
Executives from Strategy, Multicoin Capital, Paradigm, and Chainlink are also confirmed. The attendance of representatives from Ethereum and Solana is still awaited by members of the summit.
Before taking office, the American president had promised to create a permanent cryptocurrency council, granting permanent access to the White House for industry leaders. However, with the confirmation of sporadic meetings with the summit, the idea seems to have been discarded.
