Preface

This week, the focus of the cryptocurrency market is undoubtedly the White House cryptocurrency summit hosted by the newly elected US President Trump on March 7th. This event is seen as an important indicator of the US political attitude towards cryptocurrency, and cryptocurrency investors are generally concerned about whether this summit will involve core issues such as cryptocurrency strategic reserves, stablecoins, and cryptocurrency regulatory policies.

The crypto market has been a bit like a roller coaster recently, with the prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) fluctuating, and everyone is watching for the next move by the US government. This summit is not only a "political show", but also a major event that could affect your wallet. Whether you are a Web3 novice or a veteran player, this guide can help you quickly understand: when is the summit? Who will attend? What will be discussed? How to view it? What possible impacts might it bring? Don't worry, let's take it step by step!

When will the summit be held? How to view?

The summit was a "closed-door meeting," meaning that only invited people could come to the White House for a live meeting, and ordinary people could not be there directly. But don't despair, although it is a closed-door meeting, it does not mean that we are completely out of action. Here are the possible viewing channels:

• Official live broadcast (TBD): The White House may release the live link through the official website (whitehouse.gov) or X platform (@WhiteHouse). If so, it depends on luck and official mood.
• Press coverage: Media outlets like Fox Business News and Bloomberg may follow in real time, and there will be a summary report after the summit.
• X Platform Dynamics: Cryptocurrency big Vs and participants may post real-time messages on X, such as what Trump said and the key points of who said what, swiping X may be the fastest way to get firsthand information.
• Follow-up review: If there is no live broadcast, there may be official statements or videos released after the summit, waiting patiently can also clarify.

Tips:

• Pay attention to the White House and David Sacks (@DavidSacks) X accounts in advance, they may post the latest notifications.
• If you have internet access, there may be media or KOL broadcasts on YouTube, search for "White House Crypto Summit" and try it out.

二、Who will attend the meeting?

The protagonist of this summit is the U.S. President Trump, who will personally take the stage to host and deliver a speech. In addition to him, a bunch of big shots from the crypto circle and government will be present. Here are some key figures known so far:

political figures

• Donald Trump: President of the United States, the host of the summit, his attitude towards cryptocurrencies may be the "barometer" of this meeting.
• David Sacks: White House AI and cryptocurrency czar, Silicon Valley bigwig, the 'operator' of this meeting, responsible for guiding the discussion.
• Bo Hines: Executive Director of the President's Working Group on Digital Assets, overseeing the details of the meeting.
• Others may have government officials, such as representatives of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) or the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), but the exact list has not yet been announced.

Crypto gurus

The summit is expected to have 25 seats, and in order to make it easier for us to find out which investment opportunities are worth ambushing, we split the list of participants into two parts: one is for exchanges and large institutions, and the other is for project parties.

Project Party Related

In addition, Zach Witkoff, the head of the World Liberty Financial (WLFI), will also be present at the summit, and as the core of Trump's "chief crypto advocate" team, their holdings will definitely be in focus, especially WBTC, ETH, and MOVE, which were just swept the day before the summit. Being able to brush his face on this "White House drama" will indicate the future investment outlet.

Who didn't come?

At present, I haven't seen the names of Vitalik Buterin from Ethereum, Charles Hoskinson from Cardano, or Anatoly Yakovenko from Solana. They may not have been invited, or their participation may not have been announced yet. The community is a little disappointed, after all, these projects are also quite influential.

Highlights:

When these people come together, it's like a "crypto all-star game". Whether the projects behind them (BTC, XRP, ETH, etc.) can be "commended" by the US government may directly affect price trends.

What will we talk about? What are the highlights?

This summit did not release a specific agenda, but from the recent news and community discussions, several major topics cannot be avoided:

Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserve
Before, Trump said he wanted to include BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA in the US reserves, meaning the government wants to buy coins and hoard them, like storing gold. This time, they may discuss specifically how to do it: how much to buy? How to manage? If they really do it, it would be like giving a shot of adrenaline to the crypto market, and prices may soar.

• Regulatory Policies
  The most headache in the crypto circle is the chaotic regulation in the United States, where the SEC and CFTC often clash. This summit may set a tone, such as giving exchanges and projects a clear 'playbook' to help everyone avoid stepping on mines.
• Stablecoin
  Stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) are the "dollar stand-ins" of the crypto market, and the Trump team seems to want to make the United States more stringent, such as requiring global stablecoin companies to register in the United States. This may affect international players.
• AI and the blockchain industry combined David Sacks is an AI expert and may discuss how to use AI to help the encryption industry, such as preventing fraud and conducting compliance checks.

Highlights:

• If you talk about the blockbuster news of "the United States buys bitcoin", the market will definitely be upset.
• If regulatory policies become more friendly, institutional investors (big money) may come in boldly.
• However, if the discussion yields no results, or if the policy is too strict, the market may experience another period of 'cooling off.'

Fourth, conjectures about the impact before and after the summit

Before the meeting

• These days, everyone is guessing the list and topics, and X has been bustling with excitement.
• On the evening of March 7 at 9:30 (Beijing time), the U.S. Congress will announce the unemployment rate and non-farm data. If the data is not good, the market may first decline, and the summit will have to "save the day".

after the meeting

• Market: If the summit says to buy BTC, XRP or something, these coins may skyrocket in the short term, and those who are not named may be a little disappointed.
• Policy: If the regulatory framework is clear, crypto companies will operate much more smoothly in the United States in the coming years.
• Global: When the United States moves, other countries may follow suit, such as Europe and Japan, which are also engaged in reserves or policy adjustments.

Small Prediction

In the short term, news from the summit may push market sentiment higher; In the long run, it depends on whether the policy can be implemented.

5. How do ordinary people prepare?

• Follow the news: Swipe X, watch the news, and don't miss the summit news.
• Mark the market: The prices of key items such as BTC, ETH, XRP may move, observe the trend in advance.
• Don't be impulsive: the market may fluctuate significantly before and after the summit, so beginners should not blindly chase highs. Wait for the news to be digested before making any decisions.
• Learn the basics: Don't understand Web3? If you're curious about the meaning of "strategic reserves" and "stablecoin" discussed at the summit, you can start by reading Odaily's introductory article (insert link).
