The White House is set to host cryptocurrency and prediction market CEOs this week, with President Donald Trump expected to attend a meeting on Wednesday, according to a CoinDesk report citing sources briefed on the plan.
The gathering comes ahead of a Thursday meeting of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's new Innovation Advisory Committee, which includes executives from Coinbase, Gemini, Kalshi, Polymarket, Ripple and Robinhood. Before that session, the crypto CEOs will meet with FTC Chairman Mike Selig, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the sources said.
The Wednesday meeting is designed to foster policy discussions around U.S. innovation, the report added. Thursday's session is titled "Crypto's Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity," with one suggested topic covering "the remaining challenges to a durable federal market structure."
The White House and Trump have been stuck in a debate over passing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the Senate, the report noted. The outcome could hinge on whether Trump accepts stricter ethics rules around his personal ties to the digital assets industry.
The meeting follows a canceled Securities and Exchange Commission session last week that had been scheduled to consider proposed exemptions for digital asset companies. The SEC scrapped it at the last minute due to a scheduling issue.
"The cancellation postpones a potentially significant step in the agency's effort to build a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrency while legislation remains stalled in Congress," PYMNTS wrote. "The meeting would not have produced final regulations but could have launched a notice-and-comment rulemaking process for an industry that has long complained that existing securities rules do not fit digital assets."
As covered here last week, the meeting represented a potentially crucial shift in the SEC's crypto approach, from regulation by enforcement toward regulation by exemption, while pivoting from policy established through enforcement cases and staff statements in favor of formal notice-and-comment rulemaking. "The cancellation puts that transition temporarily on hold at a particularly consequential moment," the report added. "Congress has again failed to complete work on comprehensive digital-asset market-structure legislation, leaving the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission increasingly responsible for filling the regulatory gap."
The White House meeting falls into a category of events that can shape the regulatory timeline for digital assets more than any single enforcement action. The CFTC's new advisory committee, the Senate bill's fate, and the SEC's paused exemption process all converge on the same question: whether the administration can deliver a legislative framework or will default to agency-level rulemaking that leaves the industry in its current patchwork state.
The SEC has not announced a rescheduled date for the exemption meeting.
