From the list above, three main categories emerge:
1. Exchanges: Primarily U.S.-based exchanges, with Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, notably absent.
2. Crypto Asset Management Firms: MicroStrategy and Paradigm are included, while surprisingly, spot ETF issuers like BlackRock and VanEck have not been invited.
3. Project Teams: World Liberty Fund, a Trump family project, and Chainlink (LINK) are both DeFi projects—the former focusing on lending and the latter on oracles. Yield Guild Games (YGG) is an NFT and GameFi project.
The sectors mentioned above should be closely watched, as the stock or token prices of related projects may see a boost. Direct participants, such as Coin, LINK and YGG, should be prioritized.
