According to FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, based on the invitation email for the White House's inaugural crypto currency summit, the meeting will run from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm on March 7 (2:30 am to 6:30 am Beijing time on March 8, Saturday), with no other details disclosed in the email other than the time and location.

Participants include executives from crypto firms such as Coinbase, Chainlink, Exodus and Strategy. Confirmed attendees include Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Chainlink Labs co-founder Sergey Nazarov, Exodus CEO J.P. Richardson and Strategy chairman Michael Saylor. In addition, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev also hinted on X platform that he will be heading to Washington for the meeting. On the White House side, Trump will preside personally, and his crypto and AI advisor David Sacks as well as the executive director of the President's Digital Assets Working Group, Bo Hines, will also attend.

As of this morning, the official invitation for the White House's Friday crypto summit has not yet been issued. According to two sources close to the meeting preparations, the guest list will be smaller than previously expected. The meeting is expected to have 20-25 participants, in a roundtable format, to be held at the White House, and will include other members of the President's Digital Assets Working Group (PWG), so there will be fewer industry representatives invited.

In addition, a larger, invitation-only reception is being organized at the White House, specifically for those who were not invited to the roundtable meeting. All arrangements are still in progress and not 100% finalized, so there may still be changes.
