News: Executives from Coinbase, a16z, Ripple & Chainlink plus Kalshi & Paradigm (a Kalshi backer) as well as Digital Chamber are among those expected to attend Wednesday's meeting at the WH, people familiar with it tell me. Trump plus Selig & Atkins are also expected to partake, some of the people said, but it's unclear whether all will. The people described Wednesday as a kick-off for the inaugural meeting of CFTC's 35-person Innovation Advisory Committee on Thursday, which organizers had initially hoped to host at the WH earlier in the summer.
