Trump expected to attend White House meeting with crypto CEOs, sources say

President Donald Trump is expected to be in attendance when the administration's new innovation committee — a crowd of crypto CEOs and leaders of prediction market and AI companies — sits for a White House meeting on Wednesday, said people briefed on the planning.

The chief executives of companies such as Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket and Kalshi are members of the new Innovation Advisory Committee at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, but before they attend their first committee meeting on Thursday, the crypto CEOs will gather for the White House meeting, said the people, who asked not to be named, and participants have been told Trump is planning to attend.

The meeting, expected to be held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door to the White House, is meant to get a policy dialogue started in some of the leading arenas for U.S. innovation. The roster at that meeting was also expected to include CFTC Chairman Mike Selig and other advisers, the people said. One of them added that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick may attend.

White House spokespeople didn't immediately respond to requests for comment on the plans.
