Donald Trump will make history by addressing the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York on March 20, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president has ever participated in a crypto conference.
Trump’s appearance comes shortly after he hosted the White House Crypto Summit, where his administration shared updates on the U.S. Bitcoin Reserve and the government’s current stance on crypto regulation. While the event didn’t fully satisfy the crypto community, it highlighted key developments in federal crypto policy.
The announcement follows remarks from Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, who spoke at DAS earlier this week. Hines hinted at a plan to stockpile Bitcoin as part of a new strategic reserve, suggesting a major shift in government policy.
“It’s high time that our president started accumulating assets for the American people, which is what President Trump is doing rather than taking it away,” Hines told the crowd on Tuesday.
Live or Pre-Recorded?
There is some uncertainty over whether Trump will appear live at the event. Some reports suggest his address may be pre-recorded, though it remains a historic moment as a sitting U.S. president formally speaks at a crypto conference.
FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that multiple sources at DAS have stated Trump plans to livestream his remarks either today or tomorrow.
The event will focus on Bitcoin adoption by institutions, regulatory updates, and the future of the crypto market. Trump is expected to outline his administration’s next steps on Bitcoin and digital assets.
The summit will bring together influential lawmakers such as Representatives Ro Khanna and Tom Emmer, along with industry leaders including MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. Saylor will deliver a keynote speech and take part in a discussion with Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart will also moderate a panel featuring key figures like Robbie Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, and Giang Bui, Head of U.S. Equities & Exchange-Traded Products at Nasdaq.
In a significant development, Garlinghouse revealed today that the SEC has dropped its appeal in the XRP lawsuit, marking a major win for Ripple and the broader crypto industry.
Meanwhile, the crypto market has been showing signs of recovery after a period of volatility. The Federal Reserve announced today that it will not make any immediate rate cuts but has plans for two later this year, which could impact financial markets, including crypto.
