Inaugural White House Crypto Summit Draws Top Crypto Stakeholders

The inaugural White House Crypto Summit is still on track to take place this week, with top crypto stakeholders confirming their attendance.

On March 7, U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with a few crypto stakeholders at the first-ever White House Crypto Summit.

Smaller Guest List Than Expected

FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett mentioned that the event’s guest list will be smaller than expected, with around 25 participants.

The upcoming summit will be held at the White House in a roundtable format, featuring some bigwigs in the crypto industry and members of the Presidential Working Group.

Confirmed Attendees

Notably, the White House has sent out invites to attendees via mail. According to the message, the event will run from 1:30 – 5:30 PM (ET) on Friday, March 7.

Some major crypto stakeholders, including Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy (now Strategy), have confirmed their attendance at the event.

Other top crypto players expected to be at the summit include Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and Kraken CEO Arjun Sethi. Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey also confirmed his attendance, as well as Exodus CEO J.P. Richardson, Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang, and Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani.

Furthermore, Zach Witkoff, the co-founder of Trump’s family crypto project World Liberty Financial, and Sergey Nazarov of Chainlink will also attend.

Government Officials in Attendance

Government officials attending the summit include David Sacks and several members of the Presidential Working Group.

Recall that Trump added key heads of top federal agencies to the group in January. This includes treasury and commerce secretaries, as well as the acting chairpersons of the SEC and CFTC.

Future Invitations and Larger Reception

In the meantime, other top crypto stakeholders are expected to confirm their invitations before Friday. However, those not invited to the crypto summit might be included in a larger reception planned for a later date.
