White House Crypto Summit

The White House Crypto Summit on March 7 will bring together crypto industry leaders and regulators for discussions on President Trump’s plans for cryptocurrency in the U.S.

Key Details

According to FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, the summit will feature about 20 to 25 attendees in a roundtable setting at the White House. While the guest list is smaller than expected, it includes major crypto industry leaders and regulators. Sources indicate attendees will receive official invites from the White House via email.

Discussion Topics

The summit aims to provide a platform for discussions on the future of crypto regulations and the U.S. crypto reserve. While symbolically significant, immediate policy changes may not result from these discussions.
