Global Blockchain Leaders to Convene at US Capitol for Future of Money, Governance and Law Summit

Government policymakers, blockchain industry innovators, and financial experts from around the world will converge at the US Capitol from October 29-30 for two days of discussions and keynotes for the 2025 Future of Money, Governance, and the Law summit. The event, hosted by the Government Blockchain Association and the Edge of Company, will feature U.S. Representative Bill Huizenga, Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, alongside other distinguished global policymakers including U.S. Representative Bryan Steil, Baroness Pola Uddin of the UK House of Lords, Dr. Lisa Cameron, founder of the UK-US Crypto Alliance, and Dan Spuller of the Blockchain Association.

These leaders will examine how governments can craft responsible frameworks for digital assets that foster innovation, ensure market integrity, and strengthen international financial cooperation in the digital age. The world-class event brings policymakers and global thought leaders together to address both the biggest challenges and opportunities of cryptocurrency, digital assets and blockchain technology. According to Gerard Dache, Executive Director of the GBA, this year's event comes at a pivotal moment as interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and AI technologies reaches new heights, with FoMGL bridging the gap between innovation and public policy.

The summit will feature immersive discussions on critical issues including decentralized finance, AI governance, national security, and tokenization, featuring high-impact keynote speakers led by industry pioneers and public officials. The programming seeks to bring lawmakers up to speed about the rapid evolution of technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing while examining the impacts these technologies are having across both public and private sectors. The event will culminate with two published reports by the Digital Asset Roundtable of Experts and the GBA's report on Preventing Government Fraud, Waste & Abuse with Blockchain, which will be shared with policymakers worldwide as educational tools.

Critical global infrastructure that will determine cryptocurrency's positioning on the world financial stage is already being built, making the current timing essential for addressing legal frameworks, regulations, and social impact. The FoMGL daytime sessions on October 30th are free for the public to attend through registration at https://gbaglobal.org/fomgl/tickets/, though priority will go to government policymakers, GBA members, and invited guests due to limited capacity. The event series, now in its fifth year, represents a crucial platform for shaping legislation, informing regulatory frameworks, and advancing the future of digital governance at a time when governments worldwide are seeking innovative technologies to solve complex problems.
