President Donald Trump is set to address the Digital Asset Summit in New York on Thursday, marking the first time a sitting American president has spoken at a cryptocurrency industry conference.

His speech follows remarks from Bo Hines, executive director of the White House's President's Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, who hinted at the administration's commitment to Bitcoin accumulation.

Hines emphasised the importance of securing digital assets for the nation, stating that President Trump is focused on acquiring Bitcoin for the recently announced strategic reserve.

He suggested that the administration aims to obtain as much Bitcoin as possible, reinforcing the growing role of cryptocurrency in national policy.

The summit will also feature notable speakers, including Representatives Ro Khanna and Tom Emmer, as well as industry leaders such as Strategy CEO Michael Saylor and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

During the event, Garlinghouse announced that the SEC had withdrawn its appeal against Ripple, marking a significant development for the company.

Trump's speech will be available via a live stream on X and YouTube, allowing a global audience to witness his address on the future of digital assets.
