As this newsletter has been highlighting, the US Congress has been engaged in intense debates over market structure legislation, but the scope of crypto policy extends far beyond a single issue, encompassing taxation, decentralized finance regulations, the upcoming midterm elections, and state-level developments. The Consensus Miami conference, scheduled for next month, will delve into each of these topics in depth.
The event will feature prominent lawmakers, regulators, and industry experts, including Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ashley Moody, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig, and White House crypto point man Patrick Witt. A key focus will be the Policy & Regulation Summit, dedicated to exploring critical policy and regulatory issues, such as the compliance of decentralized finance with anti-money laundering rules and the implications of the Clarity Act. The summit will also examine the crypto industry's engagement with the midterm elections and expectations for the new Congress.
Furthermore, a series of sessions will be devoted to the 2026 midterm election, including the potential impact on the crypto sector. The event will culminate in a debate on prediction markets, addressing questions about their nature and regulation. With the crypto industry having established itself as a significant player, discussions around tax reform, market structure legislation, and regulatory clarity are more pressing than ever.
The Consensus Miami conference promises to provide valuable insights into the current state of crypto policy and the future of the industry.
