Trump Crypto Summit: Ripple, WLFI, MARA, Gemini, Other Confirmed Big-Time Attendees

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host the first ever White House digital assets summit, and some of the confirmed attendees are already preparing themselves and what they will advocate for when they go to Washington Friday.

The selection of attendees is critical for the industry, given how it could indicate which specific segments the new administration seeks to support.

Which Crypto Leaders Have Confirmed Their Attendance So Far?

Way ahead of others, Ripple's CEO said he will attend the summit and discuss the importance of an industry working together to drive growth. However, since he didn't really announce he was "invited" to the event, there were some questions about his attendance.

It was only until White House crypto and AI czar David Sacks took to X to "confirm" that a list being circulated by journalist Eleanor Terrett was the one that "looks correct."

Here are the confirmed attendees as per Terrett's list:

• Brad Garlinghouse (Ripple) – The Ripple CEO said he will encourage collaboration in the industry and thanked Trump for recognizing that the industry has evolved into a "multichain world," seemingly indicating how there are now other coins with utility beyond Bitcoin.
• Fred Thiel (MARA Holdings) – Thiel confirmed his attendance Thursday, saying he is looking forward to the discussions at the roundtable but did not specify what he will advocate for. Still, his confirmation is a big nod to the Bitcoin mining industry.
• Vlad Tenev (Robinhood) – Tenev specifically asked his over 230,000 followers on X what they think are the most pressing issues to them that he may be able to present at the summit. Some said crypto regulation is crucial and prominent crypto sleuth ZachXBT said Circle (USDC) and Ripple (XRP) should be held accountable for "trying to attack competitors via regulatory capture."
• Chris Dixon (a16z)
• Nathan McCauley (Anchorage Digital) – The Anchorage CEO said he had been invited to the roundtable and is positive it is "the start of the golden age for crypto in America." Anchorage is a platform for institutional crypto, indicating the president is interested in supporting institutional adoption.
• Mike Belshe (BitGo) – The BitGo CEO said he is "heading to DC" to fulfill his part as a digital assets advocate.
• Raghu Yarlagadda (Falcon X) – He specifically said he will "bring the institutional voice" to the crypto summit and will support "the crypto policy roadmap."
• Kris Marszalek (Crypto.com)
• Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Gemini) – The twin executives' attendance is no surprise to the industry, since they have been forging close ties with the Trump administration and even donated millions to the Trump campaign.
• Arjun Sethi (Kraken FX)
• Michael Saylor (Strategy) – The well-known Bitcoin maximalist personally confirmed his attendance on X, gaining much attention from Bitcoiners.
• Brian Armstrong (Coinbase)
• Sergey Nazarov (Chainlink)
• Kyle Samani (Multicoin Capital) – The managing partner said he is looking forward to collaborating with industry peers and the Trump admin "to ensure crypto thrives in America."
• Zach Witkoff (WLFI) – The World Liberty Financial co-founder thanked Trump for the invitation. Trump has only ever officially promoted WLFI and his own meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP), in terms of crypto projects.
• JP Richardson (Exodus) – The Exodus CEO said he will promote the recognition of "the importance of self-custody" in the crypto space.
• Matt Huang (Paradigm) – He said he wants to discuss "how America can take a leadership role in promoting the principles of open crypto."
• David Bailey (Bitcoin Magazine) – The prominent Bitcoiner re-posted Terrett's post where his name is listed as an attendee.

Bailey revealed he expects the total number of crypto executives at the roundtable to be around 20, but Terrett said more people may be confirming their attendance ahead of the Friday summit.
