The final event of the America Loves Crypto tour took place in Washington, D.C., with speakers such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, ConSensys CEO Joseph Lubin, and Congressman Wiley Nickel addressing the crowd. The speakers emphasized the importance of supporting cryptocurrency in America through a bi-partisan effort. Congressman Nickel highlighted the fact that 20% of American adults own cryptocurrency and argued that this voting block could sway elections. Nickel also stressed the need for a bi-partisan approach to prevent politicizing the issue. The tour aimed to combat the stigma surrounding crypto and promote grassroots community building. The Chainsmokers closed out the event, expressing dissatisfaction with SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. The crypto industry still faces challenges from regulatory hurdles and lack of respect from policymakers, despite raising campaign contributions. Overall, the event aimed to mobilize the Stand With Crypto advocates and make an impact in the 2024 election.
