Donald Trump hosted a ‘digital asset summit’ at the White House, signaling a significant policy shift regarding cryptocurrency.
At the Friday afternoon gathering, tech leaders and crypto advocates assembled, with the former president taking center stage. Flanked by cabinet members and key figures in the crypto space, Trump addressed the attendees, saying, “This is a very important day in your lives. There were some of you [working] very long, long before people really understood what was happening, and so I congratulate you. This is a big day.”
The event, which mirrored the roster of tech moguls who supported Trump’s January 20th inauguration, underscored a change in sentiment toward digital assets. The summit’s occurrence suggested a stark contrast to the previous years when regulators and lawmakers often viewed cryptocurrencies with skepticism.
