The US White House plans to hold a working meeting with representatives of the cryptocurrency industry and prediction market platforms next week. This is reported by Politico, citing three knowledgeable sources. At the moment, the final date and the exact composition of the participants are still being agreed. According to insiders, heads of large companies from the traditional financial sector can also join the event. Whether US President Donald Trump will personally attend the meeting has not yet been officially confirmed.

Journalists note that this event is scheduled to take place the day before the first meeting of the new Advisory Committee on Innovation at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. This committee includes the heads of cryptocurrency, financial and gambling companies, as well as representatives of prediction market platforms. The commission's meeting itself is scheduled for August 20th and will be one of the first events of the new advisory body with the participation of representatives of these sectors.

In addition, on August 14th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was scheduled to hold an open meeting on a proposal for a new regulatory regime for certain investment contracts related to crypto assets. However, a message appeared on the regulator's official website stating that this meeting had been canceled. At the same time, the agency continues to work on other initiatives. It should be recalled that on September 17th, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission scheduled a special round table. It will focus on the transition of the American stock market to round-the-clock trading. The participants of this event will discuss the technical readiness of exchanges for night sessions, the stability of the financial infrastructure, investor protection issues, as well as new opportunities and risks of continuous operation of the market.
