Let's get the timing straight first: 2:30 PM ET Wednesday, at the White House. The confirmed attendees so far include Trump himself, along with Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Selig, meeting with a group of executives from the crypto and prediction market industries.
This meeting occupies a curious spot — it's not a standalone event, but has been explicitly framed as a "warm-up." The next day, Thursday, the CFTC will hold its first-ever Innovation Advisory Committee meeting. In other words, this informal White House gathering is meant to bring policymakers and industry figures to the same table before the formal regulatory process officially kicks off.
That's all the publicly available information for now: the time, location, expected attendees, and the sequencing between this meeting and the CFTC's first committee session the next day. Further details on what will actually be discussed, the list of participating companies, and any follow-up plans have yet to emerge.
