Morning Minute: Trump To Meet Crypto, Prediction Market CEOs This Week
Summary
Trump is expected to meet on Wednesday at the White House with CEOs from crypto, prediction markets, and AI, just before the CFTC’s new Innovation Advisory Committee meets on Thursday. Attendees are expected to include leaders from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, Kalshi, and major financial firms like CME, Nasdaq, ICE, and DTCC, with CFTC Chair Mike Selig possibly joined by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The gathering signals strong White House support for crypto while regulators work on friendlier rules. But major policy wins are still delayed: the SEC has postponed its tokenized-stocks exemption, and the CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate.
