US President Donald Trump is set to host the first White House Crypto Summit with over 20 industry leaders confirmed to attend. The roundtable will include members of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets and is scheduled from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm UTC. Speculation surrounds additional attendees like Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao.
Ardoino was seen at a DC event hosted by the CFTC, but his attendance at the White House summit remains unconfirmed. The CFTC event featured industry leaders like Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse and MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright. The crypto community calls for the inclusion of key figures like Cathie Wood and Vitalik Buterin at the summit.
The White House Crypto Summit coincides with debate over Trump’s executive order establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile.” Some saw the order as positive for crypto, while others criticized the lack of commitment to buy more BTC. Trump’s BTC reserve order did not meet community expectations for significant buying.
10x Research noted a significant gap between community expectations and Trump’s BTC reserve order, which focused on seized BTC. Coinbase estimated Trump’s order removed $18 billion of sell-side pressure. The community debates the implications of Trump’s executive order and its impact on the crypto market.
