US President Donald Trump will hold a crypto summit on March 7th, the White House announced.
Whitehauscript, executive directors of the Digital Asset Working Group, and David Sachs and Bohines of Izar will hold a meeting, but Trump will speak at the summit, a press release later Friday said.
“Participants include prominent founders, CEOs, investors and members of the CEOs’ working group on digital assets,” the release said.
The summit comes just a month after Sack, alongside Congressional leaders, performed his first official duties as Trump’s code emperor.
“We want to maintain that innovation in athletics and athletics in the United States,” he said at a press conference on February 4th. “Financial assets are destined to be digital, just as all analog industries are digital, and we hope that the creation of that value will occur in the US rather than giving it to other countries.”
The White House did not name any other attendees at the summit.
Friday’s announcement concludes in a busy week in the crypto industry. Earlier that day, a federal judge approved a Securities and Exchange Commission motion to withdraw the case against Coinbase.
Joe Lubin, CEO of Ethereum Incubator Consensys and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of Exchange Gemini, both said earlier in the week that the SEC had notified their respective companies that they would be closing investigations into those companies.
The SEC has also filed a suspension of lawsuits against the Tron Foundation and founder Justin Sun.
“After the previous administration unfairly indicted the digital assets sector, President Trump’s policy vision represents a new era of digital financial technology,” the press release said. “The administration is committed to providing a clear regulatory framework, enabling innovation and protecting economic freedom.”
