The past year has seen significant developments in cryptocurrency policy, with Congress debating market structure legislation and regulators shifting their approach to enforcement. The crypto industry has made substantial progress, with the U.S.
President signing the first major crypto-specific legislation last year. However, challenges persist, including stagnant crypto prices and the need for tax reform.
The upcoming Consensus Miami conference will bring together key lawmakers, regulators, and industry experts to explore these issues in depth, including the treatment of stablecoins, decentralized finance regulations, and the impact of the midterm election. The conference will feature discussions with leading figures such as Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ashley Moody, as well as regulators like CFTC Chairman Mike Selig. A dedicated Policy & Regulation Summit will examine critical policy and regulatory issues, including compliance with anti-money laundering rules and the implications of the Clarity Act. The event will also host a series of sessions focused on the 2026 midterm election and its potential impact on the crypto industry.
With a range of expert speakers, including SEC Crypto Task Force chief Taylor Lindman and former IRS officials, the conference promises to provide valuable insights into the future of cryptocurrency policy.
