Trump Set to Join White House Meeting With Crypto Industry Leaders

President Donald Trump is expected to attend a White House meeting next week alongside a group of chief executives from crypto, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence companies, according to people familiar with the planning. The gathering comes as executives prepare for the first official meeting of a new innovation advisory committee formed under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Wide Range of Industry Leaders Involved

The advisory committee includes leaders from major crypto exchanges, trading platforms, and prediction market firms, alongside executives from established financial institutions such as major exchange operators and clearing organizations. The CFTC chairman and other regulatory advisers are also expected at the White House session, with reports suggesting the Treasury Secretary and Commerce Secretary could join as well.

Regulatory Clarity Remains Central Focus

The meeting is intended to open policy discussions on innovation in digital assets and related industries. A follow-up committee meeting later in the week will focus on regulatory developments in crypto markets and unresolved challenges around building a lasting federal framework for the industry. The gathering comes as debate continues in the Senate over major digital asset legislation, with further progress potentially tied to ethics questions surrounding the president’s personal ties to the crypto industry.
