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 Chief Strategy Officer Dante Disparte, Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, and legal executives from Jito and a16z Crypto.
Why this meeting is important
Discussions between Democrats and Republicans over crypto rules have hit a rough patch recently. A leaked Democratic proposal to regulate DeFi has sparked strong backlash from the crypto industry, with many calling it too strict.
This new round table aims to set the tone again. Lawmakers are trying to understand the crypto industry’s concerns while pushing for stricter oversight. By inviting industry leaders, the Senate hopes to find common ground on how to protect investors without stifling innovation.

For now, the crypto community will be watching closely. The outcome of this roundtable could shape the regulation of DeFi and digital assets.
