Prediction market executives will not attend a White House event on Wednesday featuring major leaders from the cryptocurrency and financial industries, despite previous reports indicating they would be included.
President Donald Trump is set to host the event at the White House "with tech leaders tomorrow to strengthen America's innovative and technological dominance," a White House official told Politico.
While cryptocurrency executives are expected to attend, prediction market companies will not be part of the event, according to the official.
