President Donald Trump is expected to attend a White House meeting with crypto and fintech executives ahead of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's first Innovation Advisory Committee meeting, according to CoinDesk reporting based on people briefed on the planning.

CoinDesk said the group includes leaders from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket and Kalshi, alongside executives from traditional market firms. The reported White House meeting is separate from the committee's formal session, but it puts digital-asset market structure, prediction markets and AI policy in the same policy window.

The official CFTC notice is narrower. In a Federal Register filing, the agency said the Innovation Advisory Committee will meet on August 20 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, with public virtual access. The agenda includes crypto assets, artificial intelligence, prediction markets and recent CFTC activity in those markets.

That distinction matters because the presidential attendance has not been announced by the White House or CFTC. The confirmed development is the advisory committee meeting and its agenda. The reported development is that crypto CEOs may get a direct White House audience before the panel begins its work.

For the industry, the timing is notable. The CFTC is expected to be central to any U.S. framework for digital commodity markets, while prediction-market operators and token firms are seeking clearer lines between commodities, securities and regulated event contracts.
