A discussion on government regulation and how the cryptocurrency industry should fight back against the “anti-crypto army” took place during the Bitcoin 2023 Industry Day event in Miami. The panel, moderated by David Zell, co-founder of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, included Perianne Boring, CEO and founder of the Chamber of Digital Commerce; Mina Khattak, senior director of crypto and Web3 at Worldpay; and Dana Syracuse, a partner at law firm Perkins Coie. The Chamber of Digital Commerce’s Boring opened with remarks on the struggles of cryptocurrency regulation, citing negative headlines and scandals in the industry as factors that give regulators more ammunition to impose regulations. Syracuse agreed with Boring, but emphasized the importance of collaboration between the industry and regulators. Khattak expressed concerns about the ever-shifting regulatory landscape in the United States, but all three panelists agreed that education and collaboration were the best ways to move forward with regulators.
