According to Crypto In America, the U.S. Treasury Department will hold a series of closed-door policy roundtables with major participants in the cryptocurrency industry this week. According to several sources familiar with the agenda, the discussions will last a week and cover four main areas: stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), banking relationships, and cybersecurity.
The meeting focused on stablecoins will be held on Thursday, May 15, aiming to explore how to effectively control and reduce the risk of illegal financing in the context of ongoing attention to sanctions evasion and the role of offshore stablecoin issuers. The meeting topics will cover secondary market monitoring, freezing capabilities, counterparty due diligence, and compliance gaps.
