A new generation of financial infrastructure is taking shape through the development of blockchain networks and dollar-backed tokens known as stablecoins. Central to this evolution is the Clarity Act–a comprehensive landmark bill that would create a U.S. regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry.
While the House voted on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act over a year ago, it is stalled in the Senate. A tight legislative calendar, partisan ethics debates surrounding crypto business involvement by government officials and ongoing friction between traditional banks and the crypto sector over stablecoin rewards and DeFi regulation have all slowed momentum.
To explore what comes next, The Block and The Hill are joining forces to host the inaugural Capitol Crypto Forum on November 19th in Washington, D.C. For the first time following the midterms, lawmakers will gather with regulators and the blockchain industry to take a deep dive into what’s to come for digital assets.
Why is it important to bring digital-asset activity onshore, into a regulated US framework? What are the major hurdles preventing passage? How is passing the Clarity Act best for US national security? What happens if Clarity doesn't pass? What are next steps for key regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission? What happens next for crypto legislation in a new Congress?
Join us as we bridge the gap between Capitol Hill and the crypto ecosystem to map out the path forward for U.S. digital asset policy.
