Donald Trump convened a summit with cryptocurrency leaders at the White House to discuss his vision of the United States becoming the world's "crypto capital." The meeting followed Trump's executive order establishing a strategic cryptocurrency reserve, intended to serve as a "digital Fort Knox." Industry figures expressed optimism about Trump's approach to digital assets but voiced differing opinions on the composition of the reserve, particularly whether it should extend beyond Bitcoin. Concerns were also raised regarding potential conflicts of interest arising from Trump's personal crypto ventures. The discussion also considered the need for regulatory clarity within the digital asset space to foster further growth and innovation. Attendees hoped for a collaborative regulatory framework that would encourage the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.
