Leaders from the crypto industry and the White House are gearing up for a virtual roundtable on digital asset policy, organized by Representative Ro Khanna.
This online event, scheduled for Monday, follows an in-person meeting held in July, which featured notable figures such as Mark Cuban and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
This time, the virtual discussion will see participation from key White House personnel including Lael Brainard, Director of the National Economic Council, Bruce Reed, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Anita Dunn, who is set to depart from her senior advisory role. Dunn will soon focus on advising a major super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
Dunn’s engagement in the previous July meeting earned praise from industry leaders. Sheila Warren, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, commended Dunn’s active involvement and thorough note-taking. Dunn described the July discussion as candid and productive.
While the Harris campaign has been invited to the upcoming meeting, it remains unclear if they will attend. Additionally, no other lawmakers besides Khanna are expected to be present.
