Donald Trump welcomes more than 20 leaders in the crypto industry to the White House this evening for an unprecedented summit. This meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. UTC, intervenes the day after the signing of the presidential decree establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
A historic event for the American crypto ecosystem
The crypto summit of the White House is held tonight, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. UTC, under the aegis of President Donald Trump. The event brings together more than 20 key participants, combining industry leaders and members of the presidential working group on digital assets.
On the government side, the White House will welcome the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the trade secretary Howard Lutnick, the general prosecutor Pam Bondi, and the presidents of the SEC and the CFTC. Advisor Bo Hines and David Sacks, “Tsar Crypto” by Trump, will also participate in the summit.
The Crypto industry will count among its representatives major figures such as Brad Garlinghouse (Ripple), Michael Saylor (Strategy), Brian Armstrong (Coinbase), Sergey Nazarov (Chainlink), Senator Cynthia Lummis, Gabor Gurbacs (Vaneck) and JP Richardson (Exodus).
A parallel is organized against the White House for professionals not invited to the main round table. Already yesterday, Caroline Pham, acting president of the CFTC, had brought together several leaders including Paolo Ardoino (Tether) and Greg TUSAR (Coinbase) during a preparatory forum.
The community notes the absence of influential personalities such as Cathie Wood (Ark), Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), Jeremy Allaire (Circle), Charles Hoskinson (Cardano) and Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana).
Major challenges for the future of Bitcoin in the United States
This summit comes in the day after the signing by Donald Trump of a presidential decree establishing a “Bitcoin Strategic Reserve” and a “stock of digital assets”, radically transforming the American approach of cryptocurrencies.
The government will now retain its 198,109 Bitcoins seized, worth 17 billion dollars, instead of reselling them as before. This initiative, comparable to Fort Knox for gold, “will not cost taxpayers” according to David Sacks, crypto advisor to the president.
In short, this summit represents a crucial step in the new American strategy on digital assets. The decisions that will result from it could not only consolidate the status of Bitcoin as a reserve of institutional value, but also redefine the regulatory framework for the entire crypto ecosystem in the United States.
