With only 33 hours left before the first White House cryptocurrency summit, the crypto market's gaze has been focused on this high-standard conference that could impact the future of the industry.

The meeting will last from 2:30 am on March 8 to 6:30 am Beijing time. US President Trump will attend and speak in person, gathering with AI and cryptocurrency Tsar David Sacks, US SEC acting chairman Mark Uyeda, US CFTC acting chairman Caroline Pham and many crypto industry leaders.

However, no details were disclosed in the official invitation email except for the time and place. The specific agenda and discussion themes of the meeting remained enshrined in mystery. This article will sort out the current market forecasts for the conference content and discuss important policy trends.

Forecast 1: Crypto Summit will announce US crypto

strategic reserves

US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick recently revealed that President Trump clearly believes that Bitcoin strategic reserves should exist. He said: "Bitcoin strategic reserves are something that the president is interested in. He has talked about this topic throughout the campaign. I think this model will be announced on Friday, when we will officially announce the relevant plans."

Last Sunday, Trump announced that he had directed the working group to advance the U.S. crypto strategic reserve plan, covering major crypto assets of BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and ADA.

At the same time, more than 20 of the 50 states in the United States have proposed or are considering legislation related to Bitcoin reserves, covering public fund allocation, tax incentives and regulatory frameworks.

Forecast 2: ****Bitcoin will be treated differently from

altcoins****

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that under Trump's plan, Bitcoin will be given a "unique position." “Bitcoin is one thing, and other cryptocurrencies, other cryptocurrencies, I think they will be treated differently – although overall positive, the way will be different.”

The U.S. government may adopt differentiated regulatory and strategic positioning of Bitcoin and other altcoins in terms of policy. Combined with the previously announced strategic reserve plan, the market speculates that Bitcoin will occupy a major position in reserves, and other tokens may be held according to some algorithm or a specific proportion.

"In my opinion, this will be the top issue for this summit. It's clear that the government is inclined to include a wider asset class, but I suspect they will be forced to defend this position at the summit as many industry leaders questioned the decision to include altcoins such as XRP, ADA and SOL into their reserves."

Forecast 3: Stablecoin regulation ****may usher in new

regulations**** , and the United States may learn from international experience

Stablecoin regulation has long been the focus of policy discussions and may also become one of the core issues of this summit. Currently, there are three stablecoin bills in the US Congress that are being promoted: STABLE Act, GENIUS Act and Waters proposals, requiring issuers to maintain 1:1 reserves, only hold high-liquid assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds, and must undergo monthly audits.

Autonomy CEO Todd Ruoff believes that the summit may draw on international regulatory models. “From recent examples like Hong Kong’s licensing system and EU’s MiCA rules, we may see U.S. policymakers push for clear reserve requirements, greater transparency and strong consumer protection,” he said.

****Forecast 4: Policies related to capital gains tax, US crypto projects

may**** be preferential for income tax

On the morning of March 4, Digital Assets Data co-founder Mike Alfred posted a statement saying that the Trump administration may announce a zero-capital gains tax policy for cryptocurrency sales at this Friday's cryptocurrency summit. However, the tweet has now been deleted and the specific details have not been officially confirmed.

Previously, The Street reported that Trump's son Eric Trump revealed that top crypto projects in the United States, including XRP and HBAR, may enjoy a zero-capital gains tax policy, while non-U.S. projects may face capital gains tax of up to 30%. If the policy is implemented, it will have a significant impact on the market structure and may further encourage crypto companies to migrate to the United States.

Meanwhile, the crypto KOL @BullNakedCrypto also expressed expectations for this policy. He predicts that the Trump administration may provide tax-free treatment to all cryptocurrency companies moving to the United States to attract global crypto companies to settle in.

However, Satoshi Action Fund co-founder Dennis Porter is cautious about eliminating the crypto tax completely. He believes that it is not realistic to completely abolish the crypto tax in the short term, but changes such as the "minimum exemption" can be won.

Forecast 5: The integration of AI and encryption ****may

be a topic to explore the application of AI in the crypto market****

The role of AI and cryptocurrency tsar David Sacks is crucial and is expected to play a core influence at this summit.

According to The Street, Powell noted: “Given the background of Sacks, he may focus his discussion on the use of AI in crypto markets such as fraud detection, compliance automation and risk management. In addition, the broader question is how AI-driven financial systems will develop in conjunction with Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

If David Sacks can promote the establishment of a smarter and more efficient regulatory system, AI could become a key tool for transparency in the crypto market.

The game between policy makers, industry leaders and market participants will meet at this summit, which may trigger a profound change in the global crypto market structure. This is not only a policy discussion, but also an important turning point in the development of the industry in the next few years.

Although the specific agenda of the meeting is still shrouded in mystery, market expectations have reached their peak. Every speech and every decision at the summit may cause a market storm. And when the curtain falls, new rules of the game may be quietly established, and the next era of the crypto industry may be quietly opened.
