March is shaping up to be a critical month for cryptocurrency policy discussions in Washington, with key events involving regulatory agencies, lawmakers, and industry leaders.
Regulatory and Legislative Events
- March 6 – CFTC CEO Forum: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold discussions on tokenized assets and how stablecoins can serve as collateral in futures markets.
- March 7 – White House Crypto Summit: Donald Trump, David Sacks, and Bo Hines will host the first-ever Crypto Summit at the White House, signaling potential shifts in U.S. crypto policy.
- Week of March 10 – Senate Banking Committee Review: The Senate Banking Committee, led by Republican lawmakers, is expected to conduct a markup session for Senator Bill Hagerty’s stablecoin bill, which could set new regulations for digital asset-backed currencies.
- March 21 – SEC Crypto Roundtable: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host the first of five planned industry roundtables, gathering input from crypto market participants.
Expected SEC Chair Nomination Hearing
In addition to these scheduled events, a Senate nomination hearing for Paul Atkins, President Trump’s expected nominee for SEC Chair, is likely to be scheduled this month.
If confirmed, Atkins is expected to take a more industry-friendly approach to crypto regulation compared to the current SEC leadership.
With major regulatory discussions, policy proposals, and a White House summit, March could set the tone for crypto regulation and adoption in the U.S. for years to come.
