“At the end of the year the sausage is being made, and everything is possible… It’s a very potent issue for this election, and I think once the dust settles following November 5th and we know who’s running the White House, the Senate, the House, everything is possible… My guiding light is - in 18 months from now, we’ll be talking about what comes next.”

We are honored to host Congressman Tom Emmer, Majority Whip of the U.S. House of Representatives, for a digital fireside chat recorded for the upcoming DACOM New York 2024 summit. In conversation with Solidus Labs’ Co-Founder and CXO Chen Arad, Emmer Discusses:

  • The deep economic values which drove him to engage with the industry as early as 2015, and his belief that “Crypto is facilitating that next internet, which is a world where we don’t necessarily need an intermediary in every deal that we do.”
  • Is passing crypto legislation possible in 2024, and what would it take?
  • How he sees the legislative priorities when it comes to crypto, and what should crypto risk, legal and compliance teams expect in the next year?
  • How do we keep crypto a non-partisan issue, and why is it important to remember we’re all in this together and not taking the ‘partisan bait’?
  • What are the market integrity challenges the industry should focus on while the House is working on legislation?
  • Beyond crypto - why is it so important not only to vote based on what you believe, but also to make sure we remember we’re all friends, co-workers, neighbors - despite out differences of opinion.
