Why Treasury Says Crypto's Regulatory Momentum Won't Stop

Hogan Lovells Cadwalader US LLP Senior Advisor Tyler Williams sits down with Luke Pettit, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Institutions, at CoinDesk's Policy & Regulation conference for a conversation on how Treasury became the central clearing house for the administration's financial-regulatory agenda under Secretary Bessent. Pettit walks through the multi-year GENIUS Act rulemaking and how a $300B-plus stablecoin market is drawing in manufacturers and energy companies. Plus: what last week's failed CLARITY vote really means, and why durable industry adoption may prove harder to reverse than any single law. - 00:00 Luke Pettit Joins CoinDesk Live at Policy & Regulation 00:30 What Treasury Actually Does — and Why It Owns Crypto Policy Now 02:00 Why the Regulatory Agenda Won't Stop Without CLARITY 04:30 Authoring the GENIUS Act — and Now Implementing It 06:00 The Dual State-Federal Stablecoin Framework and Its Deadlines 07:30 Treasury as Finance Ministry: The Global Reciprocity Race 09:30 BSA, AML and the Office of Digital Asset Policy 11:00 Why Industry Adoption Is Harder to Reverse Than a Law 13:00 What Really Happened in Last Week's Failed Vote 17:00 Why Congress Climbs the AI Curve Faster Than Crypto's 19:00 Agentic Commerce Will Run on Stablecoins - #digitalfinance #finance #bitcoin Subscribe to CoinDesk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CoinDesk?sub_confirmation=1 CoinDesk is the leading digital media, events and information services company for the crypto asset and blockchain technology community.
