Key Points
- Rep. Ro Khanna plans to host a crypto roundtable with Mark Cuban and Biden administration officials.
- The discussion will focus on maintaining Bitcoin and blockchain innovation in the United States.
Rep. Ro Khanna, a known pro-crypto politician, is set to host a roundtable discussion on crypto policy in early July.
Attendees will include billionaire businessman Mark Cuban and officials from the Biden administration.
Roundtable Discussion
The primary goal of the roundtable will be to discuss how the United States can continue to foster innovation in Bitcoin and blockchain technology.
The exact list of attendees, beyond Khanna and Cuban, has yet to be released.
Khanna has previously shown support for the FIT21 bill, which would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jurisdiction over digital commodities and establish regulatory frameworks at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Mark Cuban’s Involvement
Billionaire Mark Cuban, a vocal advocate for cryptocurrency, has also recently addressed the Biden administration regarding its stance on cryptocurrency.
He speculated that Biden’s position on crypto could influence the outcome of the upcoming election.
Meanwhile, Biden’s main political competitor, former President Donald Trump, has expressed support for cryptocurrency.
During a campaign appearance in Florida, he pledged to end what he called “Joe Biden’s war on crypto” and ensure that the future of cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, is made in America.
Trump also reportedly showed support for Bitcoin mining in the United States during a meeting with representatives from Bitcoin mining companies.
