Trump Hosts Crypto Summit at White House Amid Stalled Clarity Act
US President Donald Trump hosted a summit of crypto and technology leaders at the White House on August 19, 2026. The meeting aimed to discuss regulatory frameworks for digital assets and artificial intelligence.
The event saw attendance from prominent figures in the industry, including Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Paul Atkins, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig, and Chairman of the NYSE and CEO of Intercontinental Exchange Jeffrey Sprecher.
Notably, the meeting comes at a time when the CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate. This landmark bill seeks to define SEC and CFTC jurisdiction over digital assets.
