Morning Minute: Trump To Meet Crypto, Prediction Market CEOs This Week

President Trump is expected to attend a White House meeting on Wednesday with CEOs of crypto, prediction market, and AI companies, including Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi, ahead of the CFTC's new Innovation Advisory Committee's inaugural meeting. The meeting comes as the SEC delayed its 'innovation exemption' for tokenized stocks and the CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate. Separately, SafePal disclosed a data breach exposing approximately 40,000 customers' names and home addresses via an order-tracking plug-in flaw.

The gathering is happening just before the inaugural meeting of the CFTC’s new Innovation Advisory Committee the next day. The committee’s members include the chief executives of Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Robinhood, Polymarket, and Kalshi, alongside the heads of CME Group, Nasdaq, Intercontinental Exchange, and the DTCC. CFTC Chairman Mike Selig is expected to attend, and sources say Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may join. The Thursday CFTC session opens with a panel pointedly titled “Crypto’s Regulatory Evolution: From Uncertainty to Clarity.” The meeting is happening at a very important time for crypto, which is in a real crossroads moment. On one hand, it signals an administration going all-in on the industry as its regulators write friendly rules. The SEC just delayed its “innovation exemption” for tokenized stocks, and the CLARITY Act remains stuck in the Senate, its fate tied to whether Trump will accept tighter ethics restrictions on his own crypto dealings. So the president is convening crypto’s most powerful executives for a show of support at the exact moment the actual policy wins keep slipping. The time for meetings and talking are behind us. It’s time for action. Hopefully this group can get it kickstarted… 🌎 Macro Crypto and Markets Crypto majors are slightly red on the week after an overnight reversal; BTC -2% at $63.5k; ETH -1% at $1,900; SOL -1% at $75; HYPE +9% at $59.15 Top alt movers on the day include Pump +7% , ZEC +6% , Ondo +5% and MNT +3% Oil +0.5% at $82.5; Gold +0.5% at $4,460 Stock futures are mixed ahead of the Monday open; DOW -0.2%, Nasdaq +0.5% Trump’s World Liberty Fi won a conditional bank charter , clearing the way for its USD1 stablecoin https://decrypt.co/375726/trump-world-liberty-bank-charter-usd1-stablecoin , with the OCC granting preliminary approval for a Florida national trust bank that would take over USD1 issuance from BitGo SafePal disclosed a data breach exposing ~40,000 customers' names and home addresses https://decrypt.co/375743/safepal-bitcoin-wallet-data-breach through an order-tracking plug-in flaw Israel’s largest bank, Leumi, launched Bitcoin and Ethereum trading https://decrypt.co/375665/israel-largest-bank-leumi-bitcoin-trading , becoming the country’s first major bank to offer regulated crypto trading Paul Tudor Jones’ firm boosted its stake in BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF https://decrypt.co/375745/paul-tudor-jones-buys-blackrock-bitcoin-etf , adding to IBIT after a year of selling, a notable reversal from the billionaire macro investor Tether is pushing into AI , with plans for on-device AI apps in developing markets https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2089310565650850217 spanning health, finance, and sports Perps trading for stocks on CEXs has gone up 79x so far in 2026 https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/2089292451236241620 to $142B as of Aug 16 Corporate Treasuries & ETFs The Bitcoin ETFs saw $56M in net outflows https://www.coinglass.com/etf/bitcoin on Friday $390M outflows for the week ; the ETH ETFs saw $0M in inflows on Friday and $2.26M for the week Meme Coin Tracker Meme leaders DOGE even, SHIB -5%, PEPE -11%, PENGU -12%, TRUMP -6%, BONK -6% were https://coinmarketcap.com/view/memes/ mostly red on the week; Robinhood chain saw big pullbacks across the board as Cashcat fell to $100M and Stonkbroker fell 40%; Printer +80% and Wall +30% were top movers Solana leaders included Ansem +11% to $260M , Layooo +33x and Billy +141x ; Cupsey also jumped 40% to $13M Basecat ran 20x to $14M after its X account was followed by Cobie; 牛来 ran to $40M on BNB over the weekend 💰 Token, Airdrop & Protocol Tracker Hyperliquid hit its highest level of Open Interest https://twitter.com/DegenerateNews/status/2089302016656904599 since 10/10 Pump.fun doubled Hyperliquid in revenue https://defillama.com/revenue in the past week with $11.5M Hyperliquid had $5.7M 🚚 What is happening in NFTs?
