U.S. State Policies around Crypto
Speaker: Zeve Sanderson, Executive Director, NYU Center for Social Media & Politics
This presentation would offer an in-depth look at the landscape of crypto policy at the state level in the United States. It would begin by explaining the federal system of the U.S., clarifying the division of powers between federal and state authorities. The talk would highlight how, in recent years, states have become the primary drivers of tech policy innovation, often moving faster and more decisively than the federal government on issues like data privacy, cryptocurrency regulation, and AI governance. The presentation would provide case studies of influential state-level tech policies and discuss their potential to shape national standards. Finally, it would offer practical guidance on how technology companies and advocates can effectively engage with state lawmakers, emphasizing the importance of understanding local political dynamics and the potential for creating model legislation that can spread across states.
