Washington, D.C. - The White House announced today that President Donald Trump will host and deliver remarks at the first White House Summit on Digital Currencies on Friday, March 7. The summit will be attended by prominent founders, executives, and investors from the digital currency sector, as well as members of the President's Working Group on Digital Assets. The summit will be chaired by David Sachs, the White House's Chief of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Currency, and will be run by the Working Group's executive director, Bo Hines.
President Trump had previously pledged to be the 'first president for digital currencies' in the United States, issuing Executive Order 14178 in his first week in office, stating that 'my administration's policy is to support the responsible and broad use of digital assets across all sectors of the economy.'
After the previous administration unfairly pursued the digital asset sector, Trump's political vision represents a new era in digital financial technology. The administration is committed to providing a clear regulatory framework, fostering innovation, and protecting economic freedom.
