🏛️ Trump Is Expected to Meet Crypto’s CEOs at the White House This Week

President Trump is expected to attend a White House meeting on Wednesday with the CEOs behind crypto, prediction markets, and AI. The gathering is happening just before the inaugural meeting of the CFTC’s new Innovation Advisory Committee the next day.

The committee’s members include the chief executives of Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi, alongside the heads of CME Group, Nasdaq, Intercontinental Exchange, and the DTCC. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig is expected to attend, and sources say Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may join. The Thursday CFTC session opens with a panel pointedly titled “Crypto’s Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity.”

The meeting is happening at a very important time for crypto, which is in a real crossroads moment. On one hand, it signals an administration going all-in on the industry as its regulators write friendly rules. The SEC just delayed its “innovation exemption” for tokenized stocks, and the CLARITY Act remains stuck in the Senate, its fate tied to whether Trump will accept tighter ethics restrictions on his own crypto dealings. So the president is convening crypto’s most powerful executives for a show of support at the exact moment the actual policy wins keep slipping.
