A group of crypto heavyweights, lawmakers and an advisor to President Joe Biden gathered Wednesday morning at a roundtable in a ballroom at the ritzy Willard Hotel in Washington D.C. to hash out frustrations and talk about steps forward.
The meeting was less Q&A style and instead was opened by Khanna, then billionaire Mark Cuban gave some remarks, followed by government and the crypto industry leaders' thoughts, Warren said. Anita Dunn, senior advisor to President Biden was there in her personal capacity, crypto industry leaders said, as well as Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. and Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo. Bitcoin Magazine first reported that the meeting was taking place.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who also attended the meeting, said he hoped it was a "first step in moving from words to actual action," in a post on X.
