Some of crypto’s biggest names are heading to Washington this week. Top executives from Coinbase, Chainlink, Ripple, Kraken, Uniswap, Solana, and others will meet with Senate Democrats to discuss the future of U.S. crypto regulation.
The meeting is led by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. It will focus on market structure legislation, essentially, how crypto trading and decentralized finance (DeFi) should be governed under U.S. law.

According to journalist Eleanor Terrett, who first reported the story, the list of attendees includes Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Chainlink CEO Sergey Nazarov, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz, and Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams.
Also expected are Circle’s Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, and legal leaders from Jito and a16z Crypto.
Why This Meeting Matters
Talks between Democrats and Republicans on crypto rules have recently hit a rough patch. A leaked Democratic proposal to regulate DeFi drew strong backlash from the crypto industry, with many calling it overly strict.
This new roundtable aims to reset the tone. Lawmakers are trying to understand the crypto sector’s concerns while pushing for stronger oversight. By inviting industry leaders, the Senate hopes to find common ground on how to protect investors without stifling innovation.

The Bigger Picture
The U.S. has struggled to set clear crypto laws, leaving companies uncertain about how to operate. Meetings like this could help bridge that gap, especially as the country risks falling behind other regions with clearer rules.
For now, the crypto community will be watching closely. The outcome of this roundtable could shape the regulation of DeFi and digital assets.
