President Trump Will Reportedly Speak at the Digital Asset Summit

President Trump Will Reportedly Speak at the Digital Asset Summit His morning speech will be the first time a sitting president has ever addressed a crypto industry conference.  The announcement comes after Executive Director of the White House’s Presidents Council of Advisers on Digital Assets Bo Hines spoke at DAS earlier this week, alluding to the administration’s desire to stockpile bitcoin for its recently-announced strategic bitcoin reserve.

“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.   “I’ve been asked all the time, it’s like how much do you want, right? I mean, as much as we can get.” Other notable speakers at the event include lawmakers Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Tom Emmer as well as industry executives including Strategy CEO Michael Saylor and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who announced that the SEC dropped its appeal against his firm on stage.
