With the GENIUS Act passing the Senate and the Market Structure Bill gaining momentum, 2025 is set to deliver long-awaited clarity around the regulatory perimeter for stablecoins, digital asset intermediaries, and token trading infrastructure.
As Congress defines categories like permitted issuers, restricted digital assets, and decentralized systems, legal and compliance teams are tasked with operationalizing rules that are still in the process of being enforced.
This panel brings together legal and compliance leaders from leading crypto institutions to explore how policy is being translated into practice. They’ll unpack how shifting definitions of custody, control, and issuer accountability are reshaping compliance frameworks across both centralized platforms and composable DeFi products.
How the latest wave of US legislation impacts protocols, stablecoin issuers, and intermediaries
Why legal risk is increasingly tied to product architecture and technical design choices
How compliance, legal, and product teams can coordinate despite staggered rulemaking timelines
Practical frameworks institutions are adopting to align with regulators while maintaining flexibility
Why 2025 may be a pivotal year for harmonizing US regulatory language with real-world crypto products
Don’t miss the chance to hear directly from legal and compliance leaders shaping the future of digital asset regulation. Whether you’re building products, managing risk, or navigating compliance frameworks, this discussion will give you practical insights into how U.S. policy changes will impact your work.
