Trump to Host First White House Crypto Summit on March 7
U.S. President Donald Trump will host the first Crypto Summit at the White House on March 7. The summit will bring together leaders from the crypto industry to discuss regulatory policies, stablecoin oversight, and the potential role of Bitcoin in the U.S. financial system.
Participants will include “prominent founders, CEOs, and investors from the crypto industry” as well as members of the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets. This was shared in a March 1 announcement by David Sacks, the White House’s Crypto and AI Coordinator.
The summit will be chaired by Sacks and organized by Bo Hines, the executive director of the Working Group.
Sacks was appointed as the White House Crypto and AI Coordinator on December 6, 2024, with the goal of “creating a legal framework that provides the clarity the crypto industry has been asking for and allows it to thrive in the U.S.”
Part of Sacks’ role will be to “protect” online speech and “steer away from Big Tech bias and censorship.”
Trump has previously signaled that he intends to make crypto policy a national priority and turn the U.S. into a global hub for blockchain innovation. The upcoming summit may set the tone for crypto regulations over the next four years.
Sacks has just two years to implement pro-crypto policies before the 2026 midterm elections. Joe Doll, General Counsel for the NFT marketplace Magic Eden, made significant statements on this matter.
Stablecoin and Bitcoin Reserve Regulations Remain a Focus in the U.S.
Stablecoin and Bitcoin reserve regulations continue to be at the forefront of regulatory discussions in the U.S. The White House announcement came after Jeremy Allaire, co-founder of Circle, stated that stablecoin issuers worldwide should be required to register with U.S. authorities.
Allaire argued that U.S. dollar-based stablecoin issuers should not have a “free pass” and should not be able to “ignore U.S. law and act as they please, selling into the United States.”
The summit could provide more details on stablecoin regulations, as Sacks has mentioned that stablecoins could “increase the dominance of the dollar internationally.”
There is also growing interest in a U.S.-based strategic Bitcoin reserve. So far, at least 24 states have proposed legislation related to a potential Bitcoin reserve.
However, state-level Bitcoin reserve initiatives may not represent a pivotal moment for Bitcoin. These initiatives are seen as “symbolic steps” unless a major purchase is announced.
