- Rep. Ro Khanna to host a landmark Bitcoin and blockchain summit in Washington D.C. with key policymakers and innovators.
- The roundtable aims to shape the future of Bitcoin and blockchain technology in America, countering Trump’s recent crypto endorsements.
- Biden’s administration faces criticism for its tough stance on crypto, including vetoing crypto custody by banks and proposing heavy taxes on Bitcoin mining.
Representative Ro Khanna of California’s 17th district is gearing up to lead a pivotal Bitcoin and blockchain discussion in the nation’s capital come early July. This was revealed by a confidential communique from Khanna’s Office obtained by Bitcoin Magazine.
The office characterizes the impending assembly as an unprecedented convergence of policy shapers and trailblazers in the blockchain arena. Anticipated attendees include figures from President Biden’s circle, members of both congressional chambers and entrepreneur Mark Cuban, as per the dispatch.
Objectives of the Meeting
The gathering’s chief aim is to forge a path for domestic Bitcoin and blockchain advancements. This move is perceived as a counteraction to ex-President Donald Trump’s recent Bitcoin sector endorsements.
Notably, Trump has embraced Bitcoin Lightning transactions for his campaign contributions, a presidential first. Trump vowed last evening to dismantle what he terms “Biden’s crypto crusade” and to anchor the Bitcoin and crypto sectors’ futures within American shores.
