As subscribers to this newsletter are aware, the US Congress has been debating market structure legislation for several months, but the scope of crypto policy discussions extends far beyond this single issue, encompassing topics such as taxes, decentralized finance regulations, the upcoming midterm election, and more. CoinDesk's Consensus Miami conference will delve into each of these topics in depth. This newsletter examines the intersection of cryptocurrency and government, and you can sign up for future editions here.
The Consensus Miami conference will feature in-depth discussions on various issues, including the treatment of stablecoin yield and the midterm election. The crypto industry has made significant strides, with the US President signing the first major crypto-specific legislation last year and regulators changing their approach to enforcement actions. Despite current challenges, including stagnant crypto prices and time running out for Congress to pass market structure legislation, the industry remains optimistic, with regulators proposing rules for stablecoin companies and lawmakers considering reforms to US crypto tax policy. The Consensus Miami conference will bring together leading lawmakers, regulators, and industry experts to discuss these issues, including tax reform, market structure legislation, and the upcoming election.
The conference will also feature a Policy & Regulation Summit, dedicated to exploring key policy and regulatory issues, and a series of sessions focused on the 2026 midterm election. The event will conclude with a debate on prediction markets, a topic likely to be heard by the US Supreme Court.
