Key Takeaways

  • Trump is expected to meet Coinbase, Ripple and Kalshi executives at the White House on August 19.
  • SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC’s Mike Selig are expected to join as well.
  • The CLARITY Act still faces a Senate cloture vote on September 15 with about a 19% passage chance.

President Trump is expected to attend a meeting at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with chief executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket and Kalshi, according to a Bloomberg report. Executives from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Chainlink, Paradigm and the Digital Chamber are also expected, while an Eleanor Terrett dispatch adds the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq to the invite list alongside Kraken.

The gathering functions as a small-group precursor to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) first Innovation Advisory Committee meeting the next day. That 35-person panel convenes Thursday for an opening session titled “Crypto’s Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity,” with CFTC Chairman Mike Selig running point on the agenda.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins is slated to appear, along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Other attendees will likely include executives from CME Group, Nasdaq, Intercontinental Exchange and Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) chief Frank La Salle.

The White House had not confirmed a final attendee list or published a formal agenda as of the reports, and Trump’s own participation, while expected, remained unofficial.

Such a massive overlap between crypto exchanges and legacy market infrastructure firms has once again proven just how deeply prediction markets and digital-asset trading have made a push into mainstream finance this year. Kalshi in particular is set to arrive with regulatory wins already in hand, with the CFTC recently ordering the platform to keep operating in New York after the state attorney general sued to shut it down, using the agency’s emergency authority to override the state action.

The CFTC has spent recent months scrutinizing so-called “mention markets,” where users bet on whether a particular word or phrase gets said publicly, and in April brought its first-ever insider-trading enforcement action tied to event contracts.

With Congress on recess until September and the CLARITY Act’s fate uncertain, the SEC and CFTC have increasingly been moving on parallel regulatory tracks of their own rather than waiting on legislation, a dynamic Bitcoin.com News has covered as the two agencies forge their own crypto paths independent of a stalled Congress.

That said, Ripple’s presence alongside Coinbase, Gemini and Kalshi shows the administration courting both token issuers and prediction-market operators in the same conversation, while the addition of NYSE, Nasdaq and DTCC executives suggests Washington is treating crypto market structure as inseparable from mainstream market plumbing.
