On March 7, US President Donald Trump will be attending the first ever White House Crypto Summit along with attendance from top industry leaders, and chaired crypto czar David Sacks and advisor Bo Hines. The major agenda of the summit is to address the infrastructure and regulatory challenges faced by the crypto industry while encouraging innovation in this space.

Roger Ver, also known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” has been at the center of a high-profile case, with many calling for his pardon. In a recent development, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin expressed support for Ver, urging the government for his release. However, DOGE agency’s Elon Musk has reversed his stance on Roger Ver’s pardon. He argued that Ver is no longer eligible for a presidential pardon since he renounced his US citizenship.
