The White House will host a crypto summit on Friday, which is set to become a significant event in the digital assets world. However, the event is expected to be more exclusive than previously anticipated.
Event Details
According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, official invitations for the White House Crypto Summit have not yet been sent out, but sources close to the process indicate that the guest list will be smaller than expected—only around 20-25 people will attend. The event will take place in a roundtable format and will include prominent figures from the crypto industry and the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets.
Participant Overview
Confirmed industry participants include MicroStrategy's executive chairman and well-known Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, as well as Bo Hines and the US crypto chief David Sacks. Terrett also noted that the PWG consists of high-level government officials such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Attorney General Pam Bondi, as well as the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Additional Gatherings
Following the roundtable discussions, a larger, invite-only reception will be held in another room to accommodate additional stakeholders from the cryptocurrency industry and policy circles. This event is also expected to be exclusive. Plans for the summit are still being finalized, and last-minute changes remain a possibility.
The White House Crypto Summit is an event drawing significant attention from both industry stakeholders and regulators. The discussions held here could greatly influence the future regulation of digital assets in the United States.
