Trump hosted White House cryptocurrency summit alongside CFTC Chairman Michael Selig and SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. Executives from cryptocurrency and prediction-market companies, including Coinbase Global Inc., Robinhood Markets Inc., Ripple and Kalshi were present.

"We're ensuring that America remains the undisputed leader not only in Bitcoin and crypto, but also technologies like prediction markets, artificial intelligence, and much more," Trump said.
