The White House plans to hold an event with President Donald Trump tomorrow that will bring together several technology leaders, according to Axios reporter Alex Isenstadt. A White House source said prediction market companies were not invited and will not attend.
The update stands in contrast to details cited by BlockBeats in an earlier Aug. 15 report, which said Trump was expected to attend a crypto industry innovation meeting at the White House next week. People said to be involved in that gathering included executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket and Kalshi, along with leaders from AI companies.
Those executives were described as members of the newly formed innovation advisory committee under the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC. The meeting was expected to take place at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House and focus on policy discussions around U.S. fintech, crypto assets, prediction markets and artificial intelligence. CFTC Chair Mike Selig and other government advisers were also expected to attend, while Treasury Secretary Bessent and Commerce Secretary Lutnick were said to be possible participants.
