The IGF is convened by the UN Secretary-General as a global forum for dialogue on internet governance. The GBA connects public-sector requirements with private-sector expertise across a range of blockchain and emerging-technology issues.

Legal & Regulatory Council Launch

The BeInCrypto Legal & Regulatory Expert Council unites senior practitioners working across crypto and digital-asset regulation, compliance, tax, financial data, AML and sanctions, and institutional adoption. 

Its focus is on the issues around how digital asset businesses operate across markets, including the right jurisdiction, navigating new regulatory frameworks and understanding the implications of tax, market structure, privacy and cross-border compliance.

The council will bring these perspectives to the global policy conversation at FoMGL, where BeInCrypto’s Global Head of News, Brian McGleenon, will moderate a panel on the state of global crypto regulation. Panel details and council members joining him on stage will be announced ahead of the event.

Both legs of the summit are open to the BeInCrypto community. The New York programme at the United Nations Headquarters (pending final room confirmation) is free to attend. For Washington, D.C., readers can use the code BEINCRYPTO20 at checkout for 20% off tickets. You can secure your spot here.
