This is where top crypto executives are meeting to discuss future U.S. regulations just ahead of the upcoming election, and the stakes couldn’t be higher! They'll also cover the latest twist in the FTX SBF saga, as FTX and Alameda Research are ordered to pay a staggering $12.7 billion to creditors. Plus, Brazil’s SEC gives the green light to the country’s first Solana-based ETF, putting Solana on the global crypto map.
