  "account": "The administration's new innovation committee, comprising crypto CEOs and leaders from prediction market and AI companies, is set to convene for a White House meeting on Wednesday, according to sources. Representatives from companies such as Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi are part of the Innovation Advisory Committee at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. However, the crypto CEOs will first meet with the President at the White House before attending their first committee meeting on Thursday.\n\nThe White House meeting, scheduled to take place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House, is intended to initiate policy discussions in key areas of U.S. innovation. In addition to the crypto CEOs, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig and other advisers are expected to be present. Sources suggest that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick may also attend.\n\nThe meeting's agenda will also include representatives from traditional financial institutions, such as the leaders of CME Group, Nasdaq, and Intercontinental Exchange, as well as Frank La Salle, the head of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). The committee's first session, titled \"Crypto’s Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity,\" will explore the remaining challenges to establishing a stable federal market structure for crypto. The ongoing debate surrounding the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate may depend on whether President Trump is prepared to accept stricter ethics regulations concerning his personal engagement in the crypto industry.",
