Preface
This week, the focus of the crypto market is undoubtedly the White House Crypto Summit to be held by the new US President Trump on March 7. This event is seen as an important indicator of the US political attitude towards cryptocurrencies. Crypto investors are generally concerned about whether this summit will involve core issues such as strategic reserves of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and cryptocurrency regulatory policies.
The crypto market has been a bit of a roller coaster recently, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices up and down, and everyone is watching the next move of the US government. This summit is not only a political show, but also a major event that may affect your wallet. Whether you are a Web3 novice or an old player, this guide can help you quickly understand: When will the summit be held? Who will go? What will be discussed? How to see it? What other impacts may it bring? Dont worry, lets take it step by step!
1. When will the summit be held? How to watch it?

This time is a bit exclusive to those who stay up late for domestic audiences. After all, it starts at 2:30 in the morning, and you have to drink some coffee to prepare for the battle. However, these 4 hours may determine the direction of the crypto market in the next few years. Whether it is worth staying up late is up to you!
form
This summit is a closed-door meeting, which means that only invited people can enter the White House to attend the meeting, and ordinary people cannot watch it directly. But dont be disappointed, although it is a closed-door meeting, it does not mean that we have no chance at all. The following are possible viewing channels:
Official live broadcast (pending): The White House may release a live broadcast link through the official website ( whitehouse.gov ) or X platform ( @WhiteHouse ). If there is, it depends on luck and the mood of the officials.
News reports: Media such as Fox Business News and Bloomberg may follow up in real time and issue summary reports after the summit.
X platform dynamics: Cryptocurrency big names and conference participants may post real-time messages on X, such as what Trump said and who talked about what key points. Brushing X may be the fastest way to get first-hand information.
Follow-up review: If there is no live broadcast, there may be an official statement or video released after the summit, and you can find out if you wait patiently.
Tips:
Follow the White House and David Sacks ( @DavidSacks )s X account in advance, they may provide the latest notifications.
If you have access to the internet, there may be media or KOL broadcasts on YouTube. Try searching for “White House Crypto Summit”.
2. Who will go to the meeting?
The main character of this summit is US President Trump, who will personally host the event and give a speech. In addition to him, a bunch of big names in the crypto community and the government will also be present. Here are some of the key figures we know so far:
Politicians
Donald Trump: President of the United States, host of the summit, his attitude towards cryptocurrencies may be a barometer of this meeting.
David Sacks: White House AI and cryptocurrency chief, Silicon Valley mogul, the operator of this meeting, responsible for guiding the discussion.
Bo Hines: Executive Director of the Presidential Digital Asset Task Force, overseeing the details of the meeting.
Others may include government officials, such as representatives from the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) or CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), but the specific list has not yet been officially announced.
Cryptocurrency experts
It is expected that there will be 25 seats for this summit. In order to make it easier for us to find out which investment opportunities are worth ambush, we have divided the list of participants into two parts: one is exchanges and large institutions, and the other is project parties. You can get an idea at a glance.
Exchange and institution related
Project related
In addition, Zach Witkoff, head of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), will also appear at the summit. As the core of Trumps chief crypto advocate team, their holdings will definitely be the focus, especially WBTC, ETH and MOVE, which were just bought the day before the summit. Being able to show up at this White House drama may indicate the future investment trend.
Who didnt come?
So far, I haven’t seen the names of big names like Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin, Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson, and Solana’s Anatoly Yakovenko. Maybe they were not invited, or maybe they haven’t been announced yet. The community is a little disappointed, after all, these projects are also very important.
Highlights:
When these people get together, it’s like a “crypto all-star game.” Whether the projects behind them (BTC, XRP, ETH, etc.) can be “named and praised” by the US government may directly affect the price trend.
3. What will we talk about? What’s the point?
The specific agenda for this summit was not announced, but judging from recent news and community discussions, several major topics are inevitable:
Strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies <br/> Trump previously said that he would include BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA and other cryptocurrencies in the US reserve, which means that the government will buy and store them like gold. This time, we may discuss how to do it: how much to buy? How to manage it? If it is really done, it will be like a shot in the arm for the crypto market, and the price may take off.
Regulatory policy <br/> The biggest headache for the crypto community is the chaotic US regulation, with the SEC and CFTC often fighting. This summit may set a tone, such as giving exchanges and project parties a clear how to play to help everyone avoid pitfalls.
Stablecoins <br/> Stablecoins (such as USDT and USDC) are the dollar substitutes in the crypto market. The Trump team seems to want the United States to regulate them more strictly, such as requiring global stablecoin companies to register in the United States. This may affect international players.
AI and crypto industries combined
David Sacks is an AI expert and may talk about how to use AI to help the crypto industry, such as preventing fraud and conducting compliance checks.
Highlights:
If big news like the United States buys Bitcoin comes out, the market will definitely be excited.
If regulatory policies become friendlier, institutional investors (big funds) may come in boldly.
But if the discussion yields no results, or the policy is too strict, the market may be “cold” for a while.
4. Speculations on the impact before and after the summit
Before the meeting
These days, everyone has been guessing the list and the topic, and X has become very lively.
At 9:30 pm (Beijing time) on March 7, the US will release unemployment rate and non-farm data. If the data is not good, the market may fall first, and the summit will have to save the situation.
After the meeting
Market: If the summit talks about buying BTC, XRP, etc., these coins may surge in the short term, and those that are not mentioned may feel a little disappointed.
Policy: If the regulatory framework is clear, it will be much easier for crypto companies to do business in the United States in the coming years.
Globally: Once the United States takes action, other countries may follow suit, such as Europe and Japan, which may also engage in stockpiling or adjust policies.
Small prediction
In the short term, news from the summit may boost market sentiment; in the long term, it depends on whether the policies can be implemented.
5. How do ordinary people prepare?
Pay attention to the news: swipe X and read the news to don’t miss out on the summit updates.
Keep an eye on the market: The prices of key projects such as BTC, ETH, and XRP may move, so observe the trends in advance.
Don’t be impulsive: The market may fluctuate greatly before and after the summit. Newbies should not blindly chase high prices and wait until the news is digested.
Learn the basics: Don’t know Web3? To learn what the “strategic reserve” and “stable currency” discussed at the summit mean, you can first read Odaily’s introductory article (insert link).
