Trump expected to attend White House meeting with crypto CEOs, sources say
Crypto industry leaders are scheduled to meet with President Trump and other government officials at the White House to discuss innovation and regulatory policy. The meeting precedes a CFTC advisory committee session focused on the evolution of digital asset regulation.
Why it matters
High-level engagement between the White House and crypto executives signals a potential shift toward more formal policy dialogue regarding federal market structures.
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.
