Government policymakers, blockchain industry innovators, and financial experts from around the world will converge at the US Capitol from Oct. 29-30 for the 2025 Future of Money, Governance, and the Law (FoMGL), hosted by the Government Blockchain Association (GBA) and the Edge of Company. The event will feature U.S. Representative Bill Huizenga, Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, alongside other global policymakers to examine how governments can craft responsible frameworks for digital assets that foster innovation, ensure market integrity, and strengthen international financial cooperation.
Representative Huizenga will be joined by U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, Baroness Pola Uddin of the UK House of Lords, Dr. Lisa Cameron, founder of the UK-US Crypto Alliance, and Dan Spuller of the Blockchain Association. Together, they will discuss government policy in the digital age. The event aims to bring lawmakers up to speed on the rapid evolution of technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum computing, while examining their impacts across public and private sectors. Attendees can expect discussions on decentralized finance (DeFi), AI governance, national security, and tokenization.
“This year’s event comes at a pivotal moment as interest in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and AI technologies reaches new heights,” said Gerard Dache, Executive Director of the GBA. “FoMGL bridges the gap between innovation and public policy, informing legislation, shaping regulatory frameworks, and advancing the future of digital governance.” The event will culminate with two published reports by the Digital Asset Roundtable of Experts (DARTE) and the GBA’s report on Preventing Government Fraud, Waste & Abuse with Blockchain, which will be shared with policymakers worldwide as educational tools.
Critical global infrastructure that will determine crypto’s positioning on the world financial stage is already being built, making it essential to address legal frameworks, regulations, and social impact now. On October 29th, a 1920s-themed gala will blend learning and networking at a luxurious off-site location. The FoMGL daytime sessions on the 30th are free for the public to attend, but priority will go to government policymakers, GBA members, and invited guests.
