Trump is expected to meet with senior managers of the encryption, forecasting and AI industries in the White House this week. The meeting was held in close proximity to the first meeting of the new Advisory Committee on Innovations of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the market followed the subsequent policy signals released by the White House and the regulator.
The list of participants covers a wide range of bodies
The meeting is reportedly expected to take place on Wednesday. The participants included Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhod, Polymarket and Kalshi, as well as the heads of CME Group, NASDAQ, the Intercontinental Exchange and the United States Deposit and Liquidation Company (DTCC).
According to the source, the Chairman of the CTC, Mike Selig, is expected to attend, and the United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the Minister of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, may also attend.
The first meeting of the CTC was held the following day.
After the White House meeting, the CFTC will hold its first meeting on Thursday. The open agenda shows that one of the opening themes of the meeting was “The evolution of encryption regulation: from uncertainty to clarity”.
This arrangement directly responds to the White House meeting this week and the regulatory agenda. The encryption industry is still waiting for a number of policy developments in the recent past, including a waiver arrangement for monetization of shares and the CLARITY bill, which is still in progress in Congress.
Supporting postures ahead of policy.
The recent release of support gestures by the Trump Government to industry was mentioned, but some key policy advancements remain incomplete. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had previously postponed the “innovation exemption” arrangement for monetized shares, and the CLARITY bill remained in the Senate.
Against this background, the White House has convened a number of encryption and market infrastructure agency executives to continue to express their support to the industry, which is seen by the outside world as having not yet fully settled the policy.
