Digital Asset Policy Leaders Meet in Washington, DC

Washington, D.C. May 20, 2026 — The Government Blockchain Association will host the Future of Money, Governance, and the Law event series September 29 to October 3, 2026. These events come at a defining moment for digital asset policy, as the U.S. Congress, regulators, and industry leaders work to establish the legal and regulatory framework that will shape the future of financial innovation in the United States.

FoMGL 2026 will feature a timely policy discussion titled “From Uncertainty to Clarity: Shaping the Future of Digital Asset Regulation,” bringing together:

• U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission — Counsel to the Chairman and Crypto Task Force Senior Advisor, Landon Zinda
• Coinbase — Director, U.S. Policy, Robin Cook
• Circle — Deputy General Counsel, Regulatory Strategy and Global Policy, Corey Then
• Ripple — Head of Public Policy and Government, Lauren Belive

This conversation comes as the nation enters a pivotal phase in digital asset policymaking. Federal lawmakers are advancing legislation to clarify market structure, regulators are refining their approach to crypto assets, and the recently enacted stablecoin framework has intensified attention on how the United States will govern tokenized finance, digital payments, and blockchain-enabled markets.

“Digital asset policy is being shaped right now, and the decisions made in this period will affect innovation, capital markets, consumer protection, and America’s leadership in the global financial system,” said Gerard Dache, Executive Director of the Government Blockchain Association. “FoMGL 2026 will bring together leaders from government and industry who are directly engaged in these debates, giving attendees an opportunity to hear from the people helping define the path forward.”

The presence of Landon Zinda is especially significant. As Counsel to the SEC Chairman and Senior Advisor to the SEC Crypto Task Force, he is closely connected to the Commission’s evolving work on digital asset oversight and regulatory clarity. His participation alongside policy leaders from Coinbase, Circle, and Ripple creates a rare forum for examining how legislation and regulation may affect exchanges, stablecoins, token issuers, payments, and broader market development.

The Future of Money, Governance, and the Law conference will convene policymakers, regulators, industry executives, and global stakeholders to explore the rapidly evolving relationship between financial innovation, public policy, and legal frameworks. At a time when the rules for digital assets are actively being written, FoMGL 2026 offers a timely platform for serious, high-level dialogue on the future of the digital economy.
