Identifying the need to educate policymakers about blockchain technology, Bitcoin, digital currency, and digital assets early on, CEO Perianne Boring founded the Chamber of Digital Commerce in July 2014. Now, thanks to Boring and her growing team, members of Congress and regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission are warming to the new reality. Boring talks to Real Vision’s Ash Bennington about Washington D.C.’s digital evolution, from a gaggle once flummoxed by social media to a group generally focused on its role in the future of markets, finance, and everyday life. Challenges remain, but Boring is bullish on crypto’s future and the positive role regulators can play in shaping it. Recorded on January 26, 2022.
