Source: Trump's White House Speech

Compiled by Odaily (@OdailyChina); Translator: Azuma (@azuma_eth)

Editor's Note: In the early hours of August 20 Beijing time, the White House convened a gathering of senior cryptocurrency industry executives. Trump personally attended and delivered a speech. Government officials from the SEC and CFTC, industry representatives from Robinhood, Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, and a16z, as well as top traditional finance executives from Intercontinental Exchange and Nasdaq, all participated in the meeting.

Likely buoyed by this clear signal, the cryptocurrency market surged overnight, with BTC briefly breaking through the $70,000 mark and ETH gaining nearly 20% — see details in Bull Run: Four Drivers Behind the Overnight Surge Across the Crypto Market.

Below is Trump's speech at the meeting, compiled by Odaily.

Honestly, there are some very important people in this room today. If you love the financial world as much as I do — and I really love finance — the people here today are giants in the financial world. It's amazing; you might not recognize some of them, but anyone in finance would know every single one of them.

Thank you all very much for being here today. We are thrilled to welcome some of the finest talent in American finance, cryptocurrency, and technology.
