The digital assets industry continues to institutionalize, and the latest confirmation of this trend is a strategic partnership that takes industry analytics to a fundamentally new level. This refers to the launch of a specialized expert council on law and regulation, whose activities will be closely tied to UN platforms and leading global regulators.
An agenda at the intersection of policy and technology
The key event will be the The Future of Money, Governance, and the Law (FoMGL) summit, which will take place from September 29 to October 2, 2026, in Washington and New York. The event is organized in partnership with the Government Blockchain Association (GBA), which unites representatives from more than 500 government agencies worldwide and coordinates the work of over 50 working groups.
The program is packed: discussions on Capitol Hill with American lawmakers, a one-day summit at the National Press Club, and a gala reception in a Georgian mansion. The focus is on the impact of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and quantum technologies on financial services, tokenization, and the formation of new regulatory frameworks.
The lineup of confirmed speakers is impressive: from representatives of the UN Pension Fund and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to executives from Ripple, Circle, and Coinbase. Participants also include blockchain co-author Dr. Scott Stornetta, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, and representatives from the World Bank.
A new model of expertise
Particular attention deserves the launch of the Expert Council on Law and Regulation. This is an association of practitioners with years of experience in compliance, taxation, anti-money laundering, and cross-border regulation. The council will focus on practical issues: jurisdiction selection, adaptation to new regulatory standards, and understanding the implications for tax structure and privacy.
The council's public debut will take place as part of the New York program at UN headquarters. This is symbolic: the GBA has already presented its Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM)—an internationally recognized system for assessing the reliability of blockchain solutions—at the UN Internet Governance Forum.
The New York portion of the event will be free to attend, and a special promo code BEINCRYPTO20, offering a 20% discount, is provided for Washington tickets.
My analysis: the emergence of such expert platforms is a clear signal that the crypto industry is finally transitioning from the "Wild West" phase to a phase of mature dialogue with regulators. This is not just PR activity, but an attempt to build bridges between the private sector and government institutions before the rules are finalized. For the market, this means that the next few years will be decisive for the entire architecture of global crypto regulation.
