As this newsletter's readers may know, Congress has been debating market structure legislation for months, but cryptocurrency policy discussions encompass a wide range of issues, including taxes, decentralized finance regulations, the midterm elections, and more. CoinDesk's Consensus Miami conference will delve into these topics in depth. This newsletter explores the intersection of cryptocurrency and government, and readers can sign up for future editions. The conference will feature discussions on significant policy changes, such as the treatment of stablecoin yield, and the crypto industry's recent developments, including electoral wins and legislative progress.
Regulators have proposed rules for stablecoin companies, and lawmakers are considering reforms to US crypto tax policy. The industry is seeking tax reform, a de minimis exemption for crypto transactions, and is looking ahead to the November elections.
Consensus Miami will bring together leading lawmakers, regulators, and industry experts to discuss these issues, including Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ashley Moody, CFTC Chairman Mike Selig, and Congressman Steven Horsford. The Policy & Regulation Summit will explore key 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 feature sessions on the 2026 midterm election and prediction markets, with a debate on the topic.
The event will provide a platform for industry professionals to engage with policymakers and thought leaders, and readers can join the conversation on Telegram or email the author with feedback.
