Kudos, Questions, Comments? Send it here.
Blockchain has unfortunately not yet been defined by its numerous important and consequential ‘pros’ but rather spotlighted in the news by the few debilitating high-profile cons (pun intended). This puts us in the challenging position to reverse the perspective of skeptics in Congress to advocate for innovation-friendly policies and regulations that will advance this technology in a positive direction. Today’s guest Dave Grimaldi joins us to paint the picture of the challenges and opportunities in the industry through the lens of our policy-makers. This week, episode 196 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about the intersection of Blockchain, policy, and advocacy in Congress.

Topics Dave and I go over in this episode include:
- Navigating the regulatory space in the Blockchain ecosystem is challenging due to the complexity of the technology and skepticism of regulators and policymakers.
- ETFs provide an on-ramp for investors to gain exposure to cryptographically secured assets in a regulated market.
- The future of crypto regulation is uncertain, with ongoing litigation and the need for clearer definitions and guidelines from Congress.
- Use cases are crucial for demonstrating the benefits of Blockchain technology and gaining support from policymakers.
