Trump to host crypto executives as SEC considers regulations
The SEC on Tuesday proposed long-awaited rules that would exempt certain token offerings from securities regulations, making it easier for crypto companies to issue tokens and raise money
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump will invite cryptocurrency executives to the White House, as financial regulators prepare to outline guidelines for digital assets. The White House has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the event. Industry experts and trade association officials are anticipated to participate. The meeting is set to coincide with an industry conference where the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission will deliberate on crypto regulations.
The Republican president, who has pursued crypto-friendly policies since January 2025, has yet to disclose any conflicts of interest stemming from his family's involvement in the sector, which reportedly includes $1.4 billion in earnings from family ventures. The SEC recently proposed rules to facilitate token offerings, while the CFTC is expected to discuss regulation at a separate gathering.
A recent survey indicates that the majority of Americans believe Trump and his family have profited improperly from crypto since his return to office, and that his decisions may be influenced by his private business dealings. The White House denies these allegations.
