According to ArzDigital, US President Donald Trump will host senior executives from major crypto firms including Coinbase, Ripple and Kraken at the White House's Eisenhower Executive Office Building on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 (28 Mordad 1405). The meeting opens a packed week of regulatory talks in Washington. SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC's Mike Selig are also expected to attend, alongside representatives from the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, Chainlink and Robinhood.

The gathering serves as a prelude to the CFTC's first Crypto Innovation Advisory Committee session, titled Evolving Crypto Oversight. The fate of the CLARITY Act, which would set the US regulatory framework for digital assets, remains undecided, with a vote now expected in September.
