Trump to Meet Crypto Executives at White House Amid CLARITY Act Delay
President Donald Trump is set to meet senior crypto executives at the White House on August 19, as regulators prepare for a public policy meeting and the Senate waits on the CLARITY Act.
The gathering will bring together industry leaders, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Chainlink Labs CEO Sergey Nazarov, with SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Michael Selig in attendance.
The White House meeting precedes a public meeting of the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee on August 20, which will discuss crypto assets, artificial intelligence, prediction markets, and recent CFTC activity in those sectors.
Armstrong, Garlinghouse, and Nazarov are members of that committee, and this gives them two consecutive days to raise policy concerns in Washington.
