#CryptoRoundTableRemarks The U.S. Department of the Treasury is holding a series of confidential discussions this week with cryptocurrency executives and policymakers, according to a May 12 report by Crypto in America.
The initiative is a focused effort by the department to develop more effective regulations for digital assets, including operational vulnerabilities in decentralized finance and challenges faced by crypto entities within the U.S. financial system. The Treasury has brought together senior officials from multiple branches, including the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and the Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection, to meet directly with select participants from leading blockchain companies and cryptocurrency advocacy groups. These discussions are being held under the Chatham House Rule, which allows for sharing and referencing ideas without naming the contributors.
