<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A high-stakes roundtable is scheduled for October 22, 2025, bringing together senior crypto industry figures and Democratic senators. The event, organized by Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), will convene in Washington D.C. and aims to reset momentum on stalled digital asset legislation.</span></p>
<h2><b>Top Crypto Execs and US Democratic Senators Expected in the Roundtable</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the legislative side, the meeting will include senators such as Cory Booker (D-NJ), Mark Warner (D-VA) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO), all of whom have previously pushed for clearer guardrails around digital assets. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Representing the crypto industry, confirmed participants include Brian Armstrong (CEO, Coinbase), Sergey Nazarov (CEO, Chainlink), Mike Novogratz (CEO, Galaxy Digital), Hayden Adams (Founder/CEO, Uniswap), Stuart Alderoty (Chief Legal Officer, Ripple Labs), and Dante Disparte (Chief Strategy Officer, Circle). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Discussion topics will span the jurisdictional roles of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) vs the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), oversight of decentralized finance (DeFi), and how regulatory clarity might affect investment in areas such as US crypto casinos. </span></p>
<h3><b>Why the Roundtable Came to Be</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The impetus for this meeting stems from growing frustration on Capitol Hill and within the crypto sector. </span><a href="/articles/industry/digital-asset-market-bill-delay-impacts-us-crypto-casinos/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prior bipartisan efforts to pass a &#8220;market structure&#8221; framework have stalled</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> amid backlash from both regulators and firms after </span><a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/10/10/democrats-new-defi-proposal-sparks-crypto-uproar" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a leaked Democratic DeFi proposal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> drew strong industry criticism. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Industry voices warned the draft rules could force developers and capital offshore, and lawmakers have responded by seeking direct engagement. The Gillibrand-led roundtable thus appears as a strategic attempt to rebuild trust and find common ground before the end of the 2025 legislative session. </span></p>
<h3><b>Potential Impact on US Crypto Casinos</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One important dimension of the discussion is how regulatory clarity &#8211; or lack thereof &#8211; influences US crypto casinos, many of which rely on digital-asset infrastructure and offshore jurisdictions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clear rules could enable these operators to engage more confidently within the U.S. regulatory framework, opening access to compliant payment rails, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the other hand, overly burdensome regulation might push innovation and liquidity out of the country, hurting competitiveness and limiting user choice.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For players and enthusiasts in the space, these developments underscore why choosing platforms with transparent licensing, good governance and strong compliance matters. </span></p>
