#USCryptoWeek

This annual event (Washington D.C.) focuses on key debates about crypto regulation in the U.S. Critical aspects:

1. **Divisive Regulation:** Clashes between SEC vs. CFTC over jurisdiction, with progress on laws like *FIT21* (clarity on *token*).

2. **2024 Elections:** Defining political positions. Trump pro-crypto vs. cautious Democratic stance.

3. **Hot Topics:** Financial stability, CBDCs, AML, and protection of retail investors.

4. **Opportunity:** Networking with lawmakers and industry leaders. Monitor *lobbying* announcements (a16z, Coinbase).

**Recommendation:**

- **Attendees:** Focus on compliance and decentralized finance (DeFi) panels.

- **Investors:** Watch for signs of regulatory consensus to adjust strategies.

- **Everyone:** Verify sources: official speeches > rumors.

Catalyst event, but real changes will be gradual.
