As the SEC and CFTC meet in Washington to debate digital asset legislation, compliance and market integrity leaders gathered at DACOM NYC 2025, Solidus Labs’ flagship event at One World Trade Center, to ask a crucial question: How do we bridge policy debates in D.C. with compliance realities on Wall Street?

🎙️ In this headline session, former CFTC Chair Christopher Giancarlo and SEC Senior Advisor Richard Gabbert sat down for a live fireside chat moderated by Asaf Meir, CEO of Solidus Labs. The discussion addressed the pressing need for a harmonized regulatory environment that supports innovation without compromising investor protections.

Key Takeaways:

  • Collaboration Over Consolidation: SEC and CFTC should coordinate, not merge
  • Clarity from the SEC: Boundaries drawn on staking, stablecoins, and meme coins
  • Quantitative Regulation: A new blueprint for real-time, data-driven oversight
  • Investor First: The GENIUS Act prioritizes what’s best for the U.S. economy
  • Guardrails Matter: Innovation can thrive within a strong compliance framework
