#CryptoRoundTableRemarks
The U.S. Treasury Department is convening a series of closed-door roundtable discussions this week with key figures from the cryptocurrency industry. These sessions aim to address critical topics such as stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), banking relationships, and cybersecurity. The meetings are part of the Treasury's ongoing efforts to engage directly with industry leaders to shape policies that counter illicit finance, enhance cybersecurity, and establish best practices for the digital asset ecosystem.
A notable session focusing on stablecoins is scheduled for Thursday, May 15. This discussion will examine controls and best practices to mitigate illicit finance risks, including secondary market monitoring, freeze capabilities, counterparty due diligence, and compliance vulnerabilities.
These roundtables are being held under the Chatham House Rule, allowing participants to use the information shared without attributing remarks to specific individuals or organizations. The outcomes of these discussions could significantly influence the regulatory landscape for digital assets in the United States.
