President Trump Expected to Attend White House Cryptocurrency Industry Conference, Coinbase, Ripple CEOs to Participate in Discussion

BlockBeats News, August 15th, according to sources familiar with the matter, U.S. President Trump is expected to attend a cryptocurrency industry innovation conference at the White House next week, engaging in discussions with executives from various cryptocurrency companies, prediction markets, and AI firms.

The participants of this meeting include executives from companies such as Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi. These corporate leaders are all members of the newly formed Innovation Advisory Committee of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Sources stated that the meeting is expected to take place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House, aiming to facilitate policy dialogues on U.S. financial technology, cryptocurrency assets, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence innovation. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig and other government advisors are also expected to participate, with Treasury Secretary Bennett and Commerce Secretary Lutenik possibly in attendance.

Subsequently, the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee will hold its inaugural formal meeting, focusing on discussions such as "Cryptocurrency Regulation Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity" and establishing a long-term federal market structure.

Currently, the U.S. Congress is still advancing the follow-up review of the "Crypto Market Structure Clarity Act" (CLARITY Act), and whether this bill can make further progress is still subject to regulatory framework and conflicting interests.
