Michael Hiles, CEO of 10XTS and an influential voice in blockchain and digital finance, will be a featured speaker at the Government Blockchain Association’s (GBA) upcoming event, The Future of Money, Governance, & the Law, scheduled for January 27-28, 2022, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. This two-day event brings together policymakers, financial industry leaders, and blockchain experts to examine the profound effects of blockchain on finance, governance, and law.
Examining the Regulatory Path Forward for Stablecoins, Central Bank Digital Currencies, and Digital Assets
As the debate around stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and digital assets gains momentum at both federal and state levels, 10XTS CEO Michael Hiles will address key regulatory issues and explore how traditional financial institutions can navigate this new landscape. With a focus on creating a compliant regulatory path for digital assets, Hiles will highlight how embedding compliance into tokenized securities and post-trade settlement infrastructure on the blockchain is transforming capital markets and enabling a more efficient framework for oversight and examination.
“The future of financial services and government oversight is rapidly changing, with blockchain and digital assets challenging traditional models of authority,” said Michael Hiles. “As power shifts from centralized to decentralized authority, government agencies must understand how blockchain, DeFi, DAOs, and smart contracts are rewriting the rules for both institutions and consumers. My session will cover how retail banking is evolving and how cryptocurrency and blockchain are reshaping the financial landscape.”
Preparing Policymakers for Blockchain-Driven Change
This event, designed for policymakers, legislative aides, finance officers, and government officials, will provide practical training and insights on blockchain’s impact across governance structures. With its intensive two-day program, The Future of Money, Governance, & the Law aims to equip leaders with the knowledge they need to adapt to blockchain’s disruptive impact on traditional financial and regulatory frameworks.
10XTS, an attendee of the GBA’s inaugural conference held at the U.S. Capitol in January 2020, supports the GBA’s mission to educate and prepare governments for a blockchain-enabled future. By providing insights into blockchain’s applications, compliance needs, and regulatory solutions, Hiles and other speakers will help attendees understand the far-reaching potential of blockchain technology.
Key Topics of Discussion
The event will feature content-rich seminars on a broad range of topics impacting finance, governance, and law, including:
- Cryptocurrency Adoption and Projection
- Banking and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)
- Redefining Money: Inflation and Debt
- International Organizations & NGOs in Blockchain
- Tokenomics & Crypto-Governance
- Blockchain Applications in State and Local Government
- National and International Blockchain Regulations
- Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Issues
- Blockchain’s Role in Identity Management
- Decentralization, Law Enforcement, and Blockchain
As blockchain reshapes the financial ecosystem, governments must adapt to these changes or risk falling behind in regulatory oversight. The event is designed to help officials understand blockchain’s impact and prepare for a decentralized future.
