On Tuesday, August 10, the Senate voted 69-30 to approve a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. A reaction to this historic piece of legislation is now rippling through the blockchain community. What, exactly, will this bill do to cryptocurrency adoption, mining, and governance? At the same time, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador has announced they will begin accepting cryptocurrency as legal tender. A clash is looming in the distance, and it’s gaining momentum.

Legislators, regulators, and administrators are faced with two brutal realities. Blockchain and digital assets are racing past exiting laws and regulations at a breakneck speed. At the same time, finding trusted resources and educational opportunities relevant to government legislators and regulators on the topic of blockchain technology and digital assets is difficult if not impossible.

Regulating this industry is a challenging task considering its diverse roles in economic development, national sovereignty, global competitiveness, and privacy. Blockchain also holds the promise of social progress, inclusion, and digital equity. The issues related to this technology do not fall across traditional right and left boundaries, and they challenge paradigms related to the bedrock of financial systems, technology, and governance.
