Stablecoin Meeting Includes Coinbase, Ripple, a16z and Trade Groups

A reduced gathering featured crypto firms and industry associations, with banking interests represented through trade groups rather than individual bank representatives.

Fact Check
Multiple credible and relevant sources indicate that a meeting focused on stablecoins was convened and attended by representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, Andreessen Horowitz, and trade or industry groups. One report from a well-followed social media account specifies the White House hosted this meeting with major banks and these crypto firms, explicitly citing stablecoins as a discussion topic. Another news outlet describes a planned meeting involving these entities and stablecoin discussions, further corroborating the claim. While some sources primarily cover related fundraising or corporate activities, the overlap in participant lists and thematic focus on stablecoins strongly supports the statement. No credible source directly contradicts it, and consistency across two independent accounts strengthens the probability. The only limitation is that not all sources confirm every detail (e.g., trade group participation is inferred rather than explicitly noted), but the evidence quality and alignment suggest the meeting occurred as described.
