As we approach what is expected to be a “wicked hot summer,” Rostin Behnam, Patrick McHenry, and Sonali Basak came together for a timely conversation on how the U.S. can build a more trusted, resilient digital asset ecosystem in our latest webinar.
McHenry emphasized a foundational truth: “Without sound law, you’re not going to have the most powerful players use these products.”
Behnam highlighted the stakes for U.S. markets: “You have to find and strike the right balance… If we lose that, what worries me is losing that trust and integrity, and depth of interest in U.S. capital markets.”
They tackled everything from the evolving relationship between regulators and lawmakers, to the pace of policy change in D.C., to the ever-crucial question of what makes a commodity versus a security.
