Texas Blockchain Summit Day 2 features Crypto’s leading regulatory and policy-focused elected officials and executives

The two-day summit – North America’s premier bitcoin, crypto and blockchain policy conference – featured over 90 speakers and nearly 1,000 attendees

AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA, Nov. 18, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Day 2 of the Texas Blockchain Summit, North America’s premier policy conference for the Bitcoin, crypto and blockchain ecosystem, featured the industry’s leading voices in policy, regulation and legislative realms, who addressed the crowd of nearly 1,000 people less than a mile away from the Texas State Capitol.

“Regulatory and policy efforts continue to be important to our economic development,” said Lee Bratcher, founder and president of the Texas Blockchain Council. “Creating a light-touch regulatory framework that protects consumers and provides clarity for businesses will help us grow smart and fast.”

Legislative, political and regulatory leaders from both sides of the aisle, including Andrew Yang, US Senator Ted Cruz, CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger, Texas State Senators Angela Paxton and Royce West, and Texas State Representatives Tan Parker (Sen.-Elect), Gio Capriglione and John Bucy provided participants with thought-provoking and unique insights on the policy front. Sen. Paxton and Representative Parker authored legislation – HB 4474 – during the 87th Texas Legislative Session that recognizes cryptocurrency. The Virtual Currency Bill, which recognizes the legal status of virtual currencies, was signed last June by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, thanks in large part to the efforts of the Texas Blockchain Council and supportive legislative advocates. The act amends Texas’ Uniform Commercial Code to provide infrastructure for commercial laws around blockchain and digital assets. Furthermore, the move formally defines virtual currencies and offers individuals and businesses a legal framework for crypto investment and custody.

“More than any other state, Texas brings leadership to the blockchain space,” Bratcher said.

Day one of the summit presented industry awards, including Journalist of the Year Mackenzie Sigalos, Technology Reporter for CNBC, Legislator of the Year Texas Senator Angela Paxton, and Educator of the Year Kristine Cranley, Director of Business Development for PM Squared Financial.

The Summit is presented by The Texas Blockchain Council, most commonly recognized for its mission to make Texas a leader in blockchain and bitcoin innovation. In addition to the dynamic lineup of speakers, the summit provided attendees with an unparalleled opportunity to network with industry leaders and sponsors from all facets of the burgeoning industry.

Day 1 of the summit featured many of the nation’s leading Bitcoin miners, innovators, financial experts and thought leaders in the blockchain, Bitcoin and crypto space, giving the crowd of nearly a thousand attendees a transformative experience of the Lone Star State’s leadership role in these emerging industries through cutting-edge insights into the widespread use of blockchain technologies, thought-provoking conversations about cryptocurrency.

“The Texas Blockchain Summit brings together decision makers, media, influencers and Bitcoin miners for the most compelling integration of Texas-oriented conversations to be found in the cryptocurrency space,” Bratcher continued.
