The summit also comes at a pivotal time for the crypto industry. A federal judge recently approved the SEC’s decision to drop its case against Coinbase, a move seen as a positive shift for the sector. The SEC has also closed investigations into Ethereum incubator ConsenSys and Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss, while withdrawing cases against Tron, Robinhood, and OpenSea.

As Washington’s involvement in digital assets grows, industry leaders are looking to this event for signals on the future of U.S. crypto regulation. With key decisions ahead, all eyes are on how policymakers and executives will shape the next chapter of the industry.
