As this newsletter's readers may be aware, the US Congress has been debating market structure legislation for months, but the scope of crypto policy discussions extends far beyond this single issue, encompassing topics such as taxation, decentralized finance regulations, the upcoming midterm election, and more. CoinDesk's Consensus Miami conference will delve into each of these topics in depth.
The annual event will bring together leading lawmakers, regulators, and industry experts to explore the current state of crypto policy and regulation. Recent developments, including the introduction of the Parity Act and proposed rules for stablecoin companies, will be discussed. The conference will also feature a series of sessions focused on the 2026 midterm election and its potential impact on the crypto industry. A debate on prediction markets will close out the event, addressing questions about their regulatory status and potential implications.
With the crypto industry having cemented its place in the US, it is now seeking tax reform, a de minimis exemption for crypto transactions, and a market structure bill that will not overly burden the industry.
