Bitcoin prices rise 10% as President Trump calls on Congress to pass crypto law

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump is hosting cryptocurrency executives and technology leaders at The White House, continuing his administration's pursuit of crypto-friendly policies.
  • SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Mike Selig advanced new frameworks this week; the SEC proposed rules on Tuesday to exempt certain token offerings from securities regulations, making it easier for crypto companies to raise money.
  • Ripple, Coinbase, and Nasdaq executives are attending the event, while XRP surged 6.28% to $1.07 as market participants reacted to the potential for new industry standards.
  • Recent polling suggests a majority of Americans believe Trump has inappropriately profited from ventures earning him more than $1.4 billion; The White House denies any impropriety regarding his business dealings.
  • The Clarity Act remains stalled in Congress, forcing the industry to rely on regulatory frameworks rather than broader legislative reform for market clarity and standardization.
