A Growing Series, A Growing Dialogue
As the Congress Series grows, so does the urgency of the topics at hand. Whether it's legislation like the FIT21 Act, the fight to protect self-custody, or debates on token taxonomy, these episodes are more than conversations—they’re a front-row seat to the policies that will define blockchain’s future in America.
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are rapidly transforming the global economy.
