Global Blockchain Leaders to Convene at Capitol for Future of Money, Governance and Law Summit

The Government Blockchain Association and the Edge of Company will host the 2025 Future of Money, Governance, and the Law summit at the US Capitol from October 29-30, convening government policymakers, blockchain industry innovators, and financial experts for critical discussions about digital asset frameworks and technological transformation. This gathering represents a pivotal moment as global interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and AI technologies reaches unprecedented levels, with the event serving as a bridge between innovation and public policy that could inform legislation and shape regulatory frameworks worldwide.

U.S. Representative Bill Huizenga, Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and a leading congressional voice on financial markets and innovation, will join a distinguished panel of global policymakers including U.S. Representative Bryan Steil, Baroness Pola Uddin of the UK House of Lords, Dr. Lisa Cameron of the UK-US Crypto Alliance, and Dan Spuller of the Blockchain Association. These leaders will examine how governments can craft responsible frameworks for digital assets that simultaneously foster innovation, ensure market integrity, and strengthen international financial cooperation in the digital age. Their discussions come at a crucial time when critical global infrastructure determining cryptocurrency's positioning on the world financial stage is already being developed.

The summit will feature immersive discussions on decentralized finance, AI governance, national security implications, and tokenization, bringing lawmakers up to speed about rapid technological evolution across blockchain, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. According to Gerard Dache, Executive Director of the GBA, the event bridges the gap between innovation and public policy at a time when governments worldwide seek new technologies to solve complex problems. The programming aims to spark meaningful connections, inspire collaboration, and accelerate adoption of transformative technologies that will define coming decades across both public and private sectors.

The event will culminate with two significant published reports: the Digital Asset Roundtable of Experts findings and the GBA's report on Preventing Government Fraud, Waste & Abuse with Blockchain. These documents will be shared with policymakers globally as educational tools, potentially influencing how governments approach technological adoption and regulatory frameworks. The daytime sessions on October 30th are free for public attendance, though priority access goes to government policymakers, GBA members, and invited guests due to limited capacity.

The summit represents the fifth iteration of the FoMGL event series, highlighting its established role in facilitating dialogue between technological innovators and government entities. As digital assets continue to transform global financial systems, events like FoMGL provide essential platforms for developing coherent policies that balance innovation with consumer protection and market stability, making this gathering particularly significant for the future trajectory of digital finance and governance.
