Trump's participation in the summit was brief, resembling more of an opening host than an engaged speaker, with no mention of new policies or substantive content—mostly just slogans. Industry attendees' speeches largely focused on praising the progress in the crypto space under the Trump administration and Trump himself.
The summit not only fell short but also drew strong criticism. Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff posted, "The crypto summit is a disgrace. The White House has been 'captured' by crypto interest groups, exactly what the Founding Fathers warned against. This will be a stain on Trump's political legacy and mark a low point for the U.S. presidency and the nation."
