Trump’s White House Crypto Summit on March 7 will host over 25 participants, including crypto executives and members of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets.
Confirmed attendees include Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Strategy’s Michael Saylor and Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov. It’s unclear if Ripple’s CEO is attending.

US President Donald Trump is set to host the first White House Crypto Summit on March 7 (the early hours of March 8 in Australia), an event that has attracted significant attention across the industry.

The summit, scheduled from 5:30 AM to 9:30 AM AEDT, will bring together more than 25 participants, including crypto executives and members of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, according to Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett.

As of Wednesday morning, it’s been confirmed that eleven crypto executives and two White House representatives will attend the event, among them Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Strategy’s executive Chairman Michael Saylor and the co-founder of Chainlink (LINK) Sergey Nazarov.

No Ripple?

Overall, around 20 to 25 major industry figures—predominantly founders and CEOs—are anticipated to attend, according to comments from Kristin Smith, head of the Blockchain Association.

While the complete guest list remains under wraps, Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse suggested his participation, hinted in a post shared on social media on March 2, just one day after the White House’s crypto adviser David Sacks confirmed the summit.

According to Terrett, invitations began circulating on March 4, reinforcing speculation that Garlinghouse was among the first to receive one. But a “larger, invite-only reception is being planned across the street from the White House after, for those not invited to the roundtable meeting,” she said.

On the Trump administration side, David Sacks will be joined by members of a digital assets working group established in January through an executive order. That group reportedly consists entirely of administration officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and interim leaders of the SEC and CFTC.
