Expected Agenda
The following two issues are expected to be the top points of discussion in the summit as the primary goal of the event seems to set the crypto markets on a bullish course.
1. US Strategic Crypto Reserve
Donald Trump had earlier announced that the US Strategic Crypto Reserves (officially the US National Digital Assets Stockpile) would include XRP, Cardano, and Solana and later added that Bitcoin and Ethereum would form the core of the reserves.
In the upcoming meeting, there is a high possibility that the reserve would be expanded to at least these following cryptocurrencies that act as critical technology enablers.
Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink is the largest blockchain oracle provider and the largest cross-chain asset protocol in the world of blockchain. More than 21 chains use its cross-chain protocol.
2. Crypto Policy and Regulations
Policy and Regulations are also expected to be at the heart of discussions as the market desperately needs a clear and supportive policy for the crypto markets.
