Trump Expected to Join Crypto CEOs at the White House a Day Before the CFTC's First Innovation Panel

Trump will meet executives from crypto and prediction market firms as regulators prepare to discuss digital asset rules and market oversight.

  • President Donald Trump will host a White House meeting on Wednesday with executives from the crypto, prediction market, and artificial intelligence industries. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig and Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins are also expected to attend.
  • The event precedes the first meeting of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's new Innovation Advisory Committee on Thursday. This committee includes top executives from Coinbase, Robinhood, Kalshi, and Polymarket, who will join the CFTC for discussions.
  • Industry efforts to purchase influence in Washington have intensified as the crypto and prediction market sectors spend unprecedented sums for a more permissive regulatory environment. The Revolving Door Project claims these groups are buying political access.
  • Senior researcher Henry Burke and assistant director Timi Iwayemi of The Revolving Door Project warned the industry seeks a system where "scams and money laundering flourish." They argue Trump and industry interests should not dictate federal policy.
  • Recent election results show limits to industry influence, according to RDP. Congress faces pressure to maintain market legitimacy while navigating the push for deregulation from these entities, despite the well-heeled political operations of the crypto sector.
