Event Summary

President Donald Trump will host cryptocurrency executives at the United States — White House on Wednesday, as U.S. financial regulators prepare to advance their framework for digital assets. The SEC on Tuesday proposed rules that would exempt certain token offerings from securities regulations, easing capital raising for crypto companies. The CFTC is scheduled to discuss crypto regulation at an industry gathering on Thursday. Expected attendees include CFTC Chair Michael S. Selig, SEC Chair Paul Atkins, crypto adviser Patrick Witt, and representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, Andreessen Horowitz, and Nasdaq. Trump has earned over $1.4 billion from his family's crypto ventures, and Reuters/Ipsos polling shows a majority of Americans believe he and his family have inappropriately profited from the sector. Trump denies day-to-day involvement, saying his investments are independently managed.
