The event, described as "the most exclusive meeting in the world," was attended by hundreds of major Trump Meme holders, including Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood, Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley, and boxing champion Mike Tyson. Previously, the US banking industry had expressed concerns that stablecoin reward mechanisms could impact traditional deposit businesses, which had previously slowed down the relevant legislative process.
