Jeffrey Sprecher, chief executive of Intercontinental Exchange, praised President Trump's policies on trade and energy dominance, as well as his "big beautiful bill" at a White House meeting with crypto executives Wednesday.

Sprecher, whose company owns the New York Stock Exchange, said these policies and initiatives have led to stock-market records and a record number of initial public offerings. Sprecher also referred to Trump's work with his wife, Kelly Loeffler, who leads the U.S. Small Business Administration, noting that "there's a record number of business formations in this country right now."
