As the crypto industry continues to evolve, so does its relationship with policymakers. The upcoming Consensus Miami conference will delve into key issues such as taxes, decentralized finance regulations, and the impact of the midterm election.
Recent developments, including the signing of the first significant crypto-specific legislation by U.S. President Donald Trump and changes in regulatory enforcement, have solidified crypto's presence in the policy arena.
Despite current market stagnation, the industry remains optimistic about potential reforms to U.S. crypto tax policy and the proposal of rules for stablecoin companies. The Consensus Miami conference will feature leading lawmakers, regulators, and industry experts, including Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ashley Moody, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig, and White House point man on crypto Patrick Witt, to discuss these topics in depth. The Policy & Regulation Summit will explore key issues, such as decentralized finance compliance with anti-money laundering rules, taxes in the new 1099-DA era, and the role of states in regulating the sector.
The conference will also include a series of sessions focused on the 2026 midterm election and its potential impact on the crypto industry.
