Trump to meet Coinbase, Ripple and crypto leaders as CLARITY Act odds collapse to 10%

President Donald Trump and the heads of the SEC and CFTC are expected to meet crypto and prediction-market executives at the White House next week as the industry’s biggest legislative priority faces dwindling odds of becoming law this year.

According to reports, the Aug. 19 gathering is expected to include executives from Coinbase, Andreessen Horowitz, Ripple, Chainlink, Kalshi and Paradigm, along with representatives from the Digital Chamber. Executives from Kraken, Gemini, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have also been invited.

Trump and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig are among those expected to participate, while Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins is also set to attend. The final attendance list remains subject to change.

The meeting comes less than a month before the Senate is scheduled to take its next procedural step on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, legislation designed to establish federal rules for crypto markets and divide oversight between the SEC and CFTC.

It also arrives as both agencies increasingly use their existing authority to shape crypto policy while Congress struggles to finish the broader framework.
