The crypto world is eagerly awaiting the White House Crypto Summit scheduled for Friday, March 7, 2025. This first-of-its-kind event is poised to play a crucial role in the future of U.S. crypto policy.
Significance of the Summit
The summit is expected to be a platform for launching a U.S. strategic crypto reserve. Key industry figures are anticipated to attend, though Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson will not be present, and Cardano has not been involved in any policy discussions with the administration.
Participants and Notable Absentees
Despite Hoskinson's exclusion, several prominent crypto industry leaders will be in attendance. The confirmed guest list includes: - Brad Garlinghouse – CEO of Ripple - Michael Saylor – Founder of MicroStrategy - David Bailey – CEO of Bitcoin Magazine - Matt Huang – Co-founder of Paradigm - JP Richardson – CEO of Exodus - Kyle Samani – Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital - Zach Witkoff – Co-founder of World Liberty Financial - Sergey Nazarov – Co-founder of Chainlink - Brian Armstrong – CEO of Coinbase - Vlad Tenev – CEO of Robinhood - Arjun Sethi – CEO of Kraken - Kris Marszalek – CEO of Crypto.com
Key Discussion Topics
The summit is set to run from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET on March 7 and will be led by David Sacks, President Trump's appointed AI and crypto czar. One of the main topics will be the handling of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated in a recent interview that Bitcoin would be treated differently than other altcoins, as it is a significant part of President Trump's crypto strategy.
The White House Crypto Summit aims to outline the future U.S. crypto policy. Charles Hoskinson's absence from the guest list remains puzzling given the president's recent comments.
