The White House has announced that President Donald Trump will host and deliver remarks at the first-ever White House Crypto Summit on March 7. The event will bring together key players from the cryptocurrency industry, including CEOs, founders, and investors, as well as members of the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets.
The summit, which will be chaired by White House A.I. & Crypto Czar David Sacks, marks a significant step in the administration’s commitment to fostering responsible growth and regulation of digital assets. It will be overseen by the Working Group’s Executive Director, Bo Hines.
Trump will deliver remarks at the gathering that “will include prominent founders, CEOs, and investors from the crypto industry, as well as members of the president’s Working Group on Digital Assets,” the White House said in a statement on Friday night.
The event will focus on three main topics: Creating clear rules for the crypto industry, Reviewing possible regulations for stablecoin issuers, including a requirement to register, and Exploring whether the U.S. should have a strategic crypto reserve.
The event follows President Trump’s pledge to be the “first crypto president.” In his first week in office, he issued Executive Order 14178, outlining his administration’s policy to support the responsible use and expansion of digital assets across various sectors of the economy.
During his 2024 campaign, Trump, who had previously criticized cryptocurrency as a “scam,” pledged to simplify regulations, appoint pro-crypto leaders, support a stablecoin framework, and build a Bitcoin (BTC-USD) reserve. Following his election, the industry contributed millions to his inaugural committee.
The Trump administration’s approach marks a departure from policies under the previous government, which critics say were restrictive towards digital assets. The White House has framed its stance as a commitment to economic freedom, innovation, and job creation in the blockchain industry.
The President’s Working Group on Digital Assets, established to guide regulatory and economic strategies, is expected to introduce new initiatives following the summit. These measures will likely focus on investment protections, fraud prevention, and mainstream adoption of digital currencies.
The working group includes the Treasury and justice departments as well as the Securities & Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The summit is also expected to address concerns surrounding digital asset security, decentralized finance (DeFi), and the role of artificial intelligence in blockchain technology.
By prioritizing blockchain innovation and fostering an investor-friendly environment, the White House Crypto Summit could position the U.S. as a leader in digital finance. The event’s discussions and policy outcomes may set a precedent for other nations looking to regulate the cryptocurrency space.
President Trump has made crypto policy a top priority and wants the U.S. to lead in blockchain innovation. In the summit announcement, he emphasized the importance of protecting free speech online and limiting Big Tech bias, creating a policy approach that supports the growth of digital assets.
“The administration is committed to providing a clear regulatory framework, enabling innovation, and protecting economic liberty,” the White House added in the statement.
As the March 7 summit approaches, experts expect the administration to outline concrete steps for integrating digital assets into mainstream financial systems. With heightened attention on cryptocurrency’s role in the economy, the White House’s engagement with industry leaders may signal a shift toward broader acceptance of blockchain technology.
The summit’s outcomes could shape the future of cryptocurrency regulations, investment strategies, and financial technology innovation both in the U.S. and globally.
