In an unprecedented move, President Donald Trump is set to deliver a video address at the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) in New York City on March 20, 2025. This marks the first occasion a sitting U.S. president has spoken at a cryptocurrency industry conference, underscoring the growing significance of digital assets in national policy.

Administration's Commitment to Bitcoin

The announcement follows remarks by Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House’s President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, who emphasized the administration’s intent to accumulate Bitcoin for the newly established U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Hines highlighted the importance of securing digital assets for national prosperity, stating that it is crucial for the government to start accumulating assets for the American people rather than restricting them.

Notable Speakers and Industry Leaders

The summit will feature a lineup of influential figures, including:

  • Michael Saylor, CEO of Strategy, who will deliver a keynote address.
  • Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, who recently announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has withdrawn its appeal against Ripple, marking a significant development for the company.
  • Representatives Ro Khanna and Tom Emmer, who are expected to provide insights into upcoming legislative initiatives concerning digital assets.

Event Details and Accessibility

President Trump’s address is scheduled for 10:40 a.m. ET at the North Javits Center. For those unable to attend in person, the speech will be live-streamed on major online platforms, allowing a global audience to tune in.

Implications for the Cryptocurrency Industry

This historic engagement signifies a notable shift in the U.S. government’s approach to cryptocurrency, reflecting its integration into mainstream financial policy. The administration’s proactive stance on Bitcoin accumulation and the establishment of a strategic reserve may influence future regulatory frameworks and investment strategies within the digital asset space.

As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, President Trump’s participation in the Digital Asset Summit highlights the increasing importance of digital assets in shaping economic policy and financial innovation.
