Introduction

This week, the focus of the crypto market is undoubtedly the upcoming White House Crypto Summit hosted by the new U.S. President Trump on March 7. This event is seen as an important indicator of the U.S. political stance on crypto, and crypto investors are generally concerned about whether the summit will address core topics such as cryptocurrency strategic reserves, stablecoins, and cryptocurrency regulatory policies.

The crypto market has recently felt a bit like a roller coaster, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices fluctuating, and everyone is watching the next moves of the U.S. government. This summit is not just a "political show," but it could also be a significant event that impacts your wallet. Whether you are a Web3 novice or an experienced player, this guide will help you quickly understand: When is the summit? Who will attend? What will be discussed? How to watch? What potential impacts could it bring? Don’t worry, we’ll go step by step!

1. When is the summit? How to watch?

Time

• Beijing Time: March 8, 2025 (Saturday) from 2:30 AM to 6:30 AM

• Eastern Time: March 7, 2025 (Friday) from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM

• Duration: Approximately 4 hours

This timing might be a bit of a "night owl exclusive" for domestic viewers, as it starts at 2:30 AM, so you might need some coffee to prepare. However, these 4 hours could determine the direction of the crypto market for the coming years, so it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth staying up!

Format

This summit is a "closed-door meeting," meaning only invited individuals can attend the meeting at the White House, and the general public cannot attend in person. But don’t be disappointed; just because it’s a closed-door meeting doesn’t mean we’re completely out of luck. Here are some possible viewing channels:

• Official Live Stream (TBD): The White House may release a live stream link through its official website (whitehouse.gov) or X platform (@WhiteHouse). If it happens, it will depend on luck and the official mood.

• News Coverage: Media outlets like Fox Business and Bloomberg may provide real-time coverage and summary reports after the summit.

• X Platform Updates: Influential figures in the crypto space and attendees may post real-time updates on X, such as what Trump said or key points discussed, so scrolling through X might be the fastest way to get firsthand information.

• Follow-up Review: If there’s no live stream, there may be official statements or videos released after the summit, so waiting patiently can also help you understand what happened.

Tips:

• Follow the White House and David Sacks’ (@DavidSacks) X accounts in advance, as they may post the latest notifications.

• If you have internet access, there may be media or KOL broadcasts on YouTube, so try searching for "White House Crypto Summit."

2. Who will attend the meeting?

The main character of this summit is U.S. President Trump, who will personally host and give a speech. In addition to him, many big names from the crypto space and government will be present. Here are some key figures currently known:

Political Figures

• Trump (Donald Trump): U.S. President and host of the summit; his attitude towards cryptocurrency may serve as a "barometer" for this meeting.

• David Sacks: Head of AI and cryptocurrency at the White House, a Silicon Valley mogul, and the "operator" of this meeting, responsible for guiding the discussion.

• Bo Hines: Executive Director of the President's Digital Asset Working Group, overseeing the meeting's details.

• Other possible government officials, such as representatives from the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) or CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), but the specific list has not been officially announced yet.

Crypto Influencers

This summit is expected to have 25 seats, and to help us better identify which investment opportunities are worth exploring, we’ve divided the attendee list into two parts: one for exchanges and large institutions, and the other for project teams, giving you a quick overview.

Project Teams Related

Additionally, Zach Witkoff, head of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), will also be present at this summit as a core member of Trump’s "Chief Crypto Advocate" team. Their holdings are definitely a focal point, especially with the recent purchases of WBTC, ETH, and MOVE just a day before the summit. Being featured in this "White House spectacle" could signal future investment trends.

Who is not attending?

Currently, we have not seen the names of Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin, Cardano's Charles Hoskinson, or Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko, which may indicate they were not invited or their attendance has not been announced yet. The community is a bit disappointed, as these projects are also quite significant.

Highlights:

If these individuals come together, it would be like a "crypto all-star game." Whether their underlying projects (BTC, XRP, ETH, etc.) receive "official recognition" from the U.S. government could directly impact price movements.

3. What will be discussed? What are the highlights?

The specific agenda for this summit has not been announced, but based on recent news and community discussions, several major topics are likely to be covered:

• Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserves
  Trump has previously stated his intention to include BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA in the U.S. reserves, meaning the government would buy and hold these coins like gold. This summit may discuss the specifics: how much to buy? How to manage it? If this actually happens, it would be like giving the crypto market a shot of adrenaline, potentially causing prices to soar.

• Regulatory Policies
  The biggest headache for the crypto community is the chaotic U.S. regulations, with the SEC and CFTC often at odds. This summit may set a tone, such as providing exchanges and project teams with a clear "playbook" to help avoid pitfalls.

• Stablecoins
  Stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) serve as the "dollar substitute" in the crypto market, and it seems Trump’s team wants stricter regulations, such as requiring global stablecoin companies to register in the U.S. This could impact international players.

• AI and the Crypto Industry
  David Sacks is an AI expert and may discuss how to use AI to assist the crypto industry, such as preventing fraud and conducting compliance checks.

Highlights:

• If a major announcement like "the U.S. buying Bitcoin" is made, the market will undoubtedly go wild.

• If regulatory policies become friendlier, institutional investors (large funds) may be more willing to enter the market.

• However, if discussions yield no results or if policies lean towards being strict, the market may face another downturn.

4. Speculations on the impact before and after the summit

Before the Summit

• In the days leading up to the summit, everyone is speculating about the attendee list and topics, and discussions on X are already heating up.

• On March 7 at 9:30 PM (Beijing Time), the U.S. will announce unemployment and non-farm payroll data. If the data is poor, the market may dip first, and the summit will need to "save the day."

After the Summit

• Market: If the summit announces plans to buy BTC, XRP, etc., these coins may surge in the short term, while those not mentioned may feel a bit left out.

• Policy: If the regulatory framework is clear, crypto companies operating in the U.S. will have a much smoother experience in the coming years.

• Global: When the U.S. takes action, other countries may follow suit, such as Europe and Japan also adjusting their reserves or policies.

Small Prediction

In the short term, the summit's news may boost market sentiment; in the long term, it will depend on whether policies can be effectively implemented.

5. How should ordinary people prepare?

• Stay updated: Scroll through X, read the news, and don’t miss any updates about the summit.

• Monitor the market: Prices of key projects like BTC, ETH, and XRP may fluctuate, so observe trends in advance.

• Don’t act impulsively: The market may be highly volatile before and after the summit, so newcomers should avoid blindly chasing highs and wait for the news to settle.
