The future of US decentralized finance, one of blockchain's key use cases, in many ways depends on how Congress decides to act. Hear from Senator Cynthia Lummis, a co-founder of the Digital Asset Caucus, about how Capitol Hill is talking about blockchain, the clarity her legislation would provide for both the industry and enforcing agencies, and her thoughts on the advantages offered by cryptocurrency. This interview was recorded in the spring of 2023.
