As a regular reader of this newsletter, you may be aware that the US Congress has been debating market structure legislation for the past few months. However, crypto policy discussions encompass a broader range of issues, including taxes, decentralized finance regulations, the midterm election, and more.
The upcoming Consensus Miami conference 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 point man on crypto Patrick Witt.
The Policy & Regulation Summit will be a key part of the conference, exploring critical policy and regulatory issues, such as decentralized finance compliance with anti-money laundering rules, taxes in the new 1099-DA era, and the Clarity Act. The summit will also examine the crypto industry's engagement with the midterm election and what to expect from the new Congress. The conference will conclude with a debate on prediction markets, a timely and contentious topic that may eventually be decided by the US Supreme Court.
