As of the time of writing, the list of confirmed attendees includes:
- Brian Armstrong: Founder and CEO of the Coinbase exchange.
- Arjun Sethi: Co-CEO of the Kraken exchange.
- Michael Saylor: Co-founder and CEO of the public company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy).
- Matt Huang: Co-founder of the Paradigm Venture Capital fund.
- David Bailey: CEO of Bitcoin Magazine.
- JP Richardson: CEO of the Exodus crypto wallet.
- Sergey Nazarov: Co-founder of the leading oracle protocol Chainlink.
- Vlad Tenev: CEO of the financial trading platform Robinhood.
- Zach Witkoff: Co-founder of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project.
- Kyle Samani: Managing Partner of the Multicoin Capital investment fund.
On the government side, David Sacks, the White House's AI and crypto advisor, as well as leaders from the U.S. Treasury Department, including Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, the new SEC Chairman Mark Uyeda, and Brian Quintenz, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), may also be in attendance.
Key Topics at the Crypto Summit
Although the official agenda has not been announced, the summit is taking place in the context of the Trump administration shaping the legal framework for the crypto market. The key issues may include:
- The future of stablecoins: Whether issuers of stablecoins outside the U.S. (such as Tether) can continue to access U.S. Treasury bonds.
- Crypto in financial policy: Whether Bitcoin should be the only cryptocurrency included in the national reserve, or if major altcoins like Ethereum should also be considered.
- Regulations for exchanges: The management of centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance in the U.S.
This meeting comes just a few months after Trump signed an executive order establishing the Crypto Council, an official crypto advisory council at the White House, with the goal of building a legal framework for the industry. However, this plan was canceled due to internal conflicts in the crypto industry, as companies competed for positions on the council and policy direction.
Instead, the Trump administration will host regular crypto summits, rather than maintaining a fixed council, to help avoid internal conflicts within the crypto industry and ensure the incorporation of diverse perspectives.
The list above is just a preliminary list of confirmed attendees. With 2 days left until the event, the crypto community is awaiting the announcement of additional figures with connections to the U.S. government - the Trump administration - and U.S.-originated cryptocurrencies such as Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Ondo Finance (ONDO), etc. to further strengthen investor confidence.
