Hoskinson emphasized the importance of having knowledgeable leaders at the meeting, stating, “There are many domain experts who need to be in the room, such as Leemon Baird from HBAR, or Silvio Micali from ALGO, or Avery Ching from APT, or Beniamin Mincu from EGLD. They understand every dimension of the industry.”
Confirmed Attendees for the White House Crypto Summit
Speculation has been rampant regarding who will attend the White House Crypto Summit, with many unverified lists circulating online. One reliable source for confirmations is Eleanor Terrett from Fox Business, who has meticulously verified and announced each participant.
According to Terrett, the following individuals have been confirmed to attend the summit hosted by Donald Trump:
- Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood
- Arjun Sethi, CEO of Kraken
- Michael Saylor, Founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy
- Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase
- Sergey Nazarov, Co-founder of Chainlink (LINK)
- Kyle Samani, Managing Partner at Multicoin Capital
- Zack Witkoff, Co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
- JP Richardson, CEO of Exodus
- Matt Huang, Co-founder of Paradigm
- David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine
- Tyler Winklevoss, Co-founder of Gemini
- Cameron Winklevoss, Co-founder of Gemini
- Kris, CEO of CryptoCom
Notable Absences and Market Implications
Interestingly, no representatives from Ethereum (ETH), Ripple’s XRP, Solana (SOL), or Cardano have been confirmed by Terrett, despite Trump’s previous support for these cryptocurrencies. This absence is quite unexpected as there have been hints at potentially incorporating them into the U.S. reserves.
As confirmations continue to emerge, the anticipation surrounding the summit grows. Industry stakeholders are keenly observing how this event might influence market trends, potentially leading to either bullish or bearish outcomes in the near future.
