Trump hosts crypto industry insiders at the White House today at 2:30 p.m. ET. The CFTC holds its first innovation committee meeting tomorrow. The CLARITY Act vote is set for Sept. 15.
Alpha Score of 31 reflects weak overall profile with poor momentum, weak value, poor quality, weak sentiment.
Washington has two big crypto events this week – one inside the White House today, another at the CFTC tomorrow – and the timing matters for an industry waiting on legislation and rulemaking.
President Donald Trump is hosting a policy discussion on financial innovation at 2:30 p.m. ET at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig are all expected, according to people familiar with the meeting. Representatives from Coinbase, a16z, Chainlink, Robinhood, Ripple, Paradigm, and the Digital Chamber are also attending. Prediction market platforms were on an earlier list but are no longer expected to participate, sources said.
The White House has declared digital asset dominance a strategic priority. Today's meeting signals that message continues at the highest level, even as the legislative path gets trickier.
Tomorrow, the CFTC holds its first Innovation Advisory Committee meeting. Chairman Selig said last week that the U.S. has long led global financial innovation and the committee will discuss technologies at the frontier of finance. The meeting opens at 1 p.m. ET with a session titled "Crypto's Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity." Two later sessions cover artificial intelligence in markets and prediction markets, with platform representatives expected to attend the prediction markets discussion.
On the rulemaking side, the SEC proposed new rules under Regulation Crypto Assets, which would create a regulated path for issuing and trading certain crypto assets. The proposal drew on existing exemptions Reg CF and Reg A+, which cover online capital formation and securities crowdfunding. The announcement came without an open commission meeting, an unusual step that caught some industry watchers off guard.
The CLARITY Act, legislation setting crypto market infrastructure rules, remains stuck in the Senate. The bill is now scheduled for a vote on Sept. 15 after missing an earlier timeline. Partisan politics are the main obstacle, insiders said. Democrats are reluctant to hand the White House a win ahead of the midterms, and the bill needs some bipartisan support to clear a filibuster.
Congress has already passed stablecoin regulation under the GENIUS Act, which sets rules for payment stablecoins. A growing number of traditional financial firms have backed the CLARITY Act in hopes of getting similar clarity on digital asset markets.
The SEC and CFTC are pushing ahead with rulemaking. Lasting legislation that would be harder for a future administration to undo remains in limbo.
