The future is being built today—will policy keep pace?

Join us on Wednesday, March 20, for the Update the System Summit.

The summit will bring together builders and policymakers to discuss the pivotal role policy has to play in determining how American innovation can flourish. Together, we’ll discuss not only how crypto and web3 can help move money forward (by addressing real-world problems everyday Americans and small businesses face with respect to the speed and costs to move money) but also how crypto can move America forward in important areas like housing, health care, and privacy.

Our technological leadership depends on our ability to navigate what's new with what's right; this summit aims to equip all of us for the journey ahead.
