United States President Donald Trump will speak at Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit in New York on March 20, marking a historic moment as the first time a sitting US president addresses a cryptocurrency conference. His participation highlights an industry that faced over 100 enforcement actions under former President Joe Biden. Jason Yanowitz, co-founder of Blockworks, noted the remarkable journey of the industry, indicating how far it has come since the company started. Trump's 2024 campaign promises previously included making America the 'world’s crypto capital' and establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. Since taking office, Trump has supported digital assets through executive orders, forming a crypto advisory team, and nominating pro-industry leaders to regulatory positions. The Summit is also significant for highlighting recent developments, including comments from Ripple Labs' CEO regarding SEC actions against crypto firms. While specific topics Trump will cover in his speech remain unspecified, industry executives hope he will discuss stablecoin regulation and taxation.
