Cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm. Depending on the day, digital currencies are now cumulatively valued at several trillion dollars. Financial and nonfinancial corporate executives, once dismissive, increasingly understand the importance of cryptocurrency and related technologies for the future.
However, the federal government is only in the early stages of deciding how to regulate cryptocurrency, which could have enormous implications going forward. In this briefing from the Progressive Policy Institute, industry leaders and experts will discuss the potential regulatory options for cryptocurrency, debating the merits and drawbacks of several proposed approaches.
