Several C-suite executives from cryptocurrency companies attended the Friday event, some of whom directly contributed to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
US President Donald Trump signed one of the first bills related to crypto and blockchain of his administration into law on Friday after delays due to debates in the House of Representatives and Senate.
In a Friday signing ceremony attended by many cryptocurrency company executives and high-ranking Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act into law.
The president acknowledged the support of several crypto figures in attendance, including Kraken co-CEO David Ripley, Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev.
