The U.S. government is paying closer attention to crypto, and this time, it’s real.
Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett revealed in a recent X post that U.S. Republican Representatives hosted a “Crypto Power Lunch”—a private gathering where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed the future of digital asset policies and potential legislation.
With some of the biggest names in crypto at the table, the event signals growing political interest in shaping regulations that could impact investors, businesses, and the entire industry.
So, what exactly was discussed? And what does this mean for the future of crypto in the U.S.? Here’s what you need to know.
The lunch was attended by important lawmakers, including Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Representative Bryan Steil, who chairs the Digital Assets Subcommittee. Their involvement highlights the Republican Party’s growing interest in shaping crypto regulations.
Alongside them were representatives from major crypto organizations and companies, such as the Chamber of Digital Commerce, the Blockchain Association, Coinbase, Paradigm, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), CoinFlip, Anchorage Digital, and Digital Currency Group (DCG).
These industry leaders shared their insights on how to develop digital asset policies that encourage innovation while ensuring regulatory clarity.
The event reflects the increasing interest from both political parties in regulating cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. As digital assets continue to grow in popularity and value, lawmakers are looking for ways to create policies that protect consumers while keeping the U.S. competitive in the industry.
The Republican-led initiative is part of a broader effort to balance oversight with supporting the fast-growing crypto sector.
Meanwhile, the crypto industry is looking ahead to the first-ever White House Crypto Summit, scheduled for March 7. Several industry leaders and members of former President Donald Trump’s crypto task force are expected to attend. This event could be a major turning point, shaping the future of cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S.
