If you’re interested in cryptocurrency, you’re probably also interested in governance and regulation, at least as it relates to the crypto space. In fact, the way the market is ultimately regulated will determine the fate of many coins.
The ideal solution would be regulations that don’t inhibit the growth of crypto but do hamper the spread of fraud and scams to offer consumer investors some protections, pushing crypto further into the mainstream. But how do we get there? That’s the multi-billion-dollar question.
Want to hear from some folks who might actually have the answer? Then I’ve got some good news: this Thursday there’s a free panel discussion event in DC called Capitol Crypto that you should check out. Discussion will be focused on crypto regulation and policy with representatives from both the private sector and the highest halls of government.
