The Crypto Summit 2025 happened last Friday at the White House, convening crypto executives and Trump’s government officials to discuss crypto policies
Some notable crypto execs who attended the Crypto Summit 2025 included Michael Saylor, Brian Armstrong, and Brad Garlinghouse, among others.
“This is a very important day in your lives,” Trump said as he presided over the meeting.
Trump criticized Biden for his anti-crypto stance. In the meeting, he also asked Congress to pass bills on stablecoins and a digital asset framework before the August recess.
“The government representatives expressed that there has been a negative regime towards the crypto industry, and that regime is now coming to an end,” says Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink.
Following the meeting, Trump’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a guidance, clarifying that banks can hold cryptocurrency.
Also, a day prior to the Crypto Summit 2025, Trump issued an executive order for the creation of the US “strategic bitcoin reserve” - which is likened to a “digital Fort Knox.”
