CoinDesk's Consensus Miami conference will delve into each of these topics in detail. The annual conference brings together key stakeholders to examine the intersection of cryptocurrency and government. This year's event 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.
The Policy & Regulation Summit will dedicate an entire day to exploring pressing policy and regulatory issues, such as compliance with anti-money laundering rules, tax implications, and the role of states in the sector. A series of sessions will focus on the 2026 midterm election, including the crypto industry's engagement and expectations for the new Congress. The summit will conclude with a debate on prediction markets, a topic likely to be addressed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
