The Stablecoin Privacy Summit
We’re excited to host the inaugural Stablecoin Privacy Summit at the National Press Club in Washington DC on April 7.
We have an incredible lineup of talks and discussions focused on the timely issues of security, user privacy, and illicit finance risk management in stablecoin systems.
A selection of our speakers for the day include:
Michael Mosier, who co-founded Arktouros pllc, a boutique law firm of former senior officials and in-house counsel dedicated to emergent technology and civil society. He has been the first in-house counsel at tech companies twice: Chainalysis (blockchain analytics) and EspressoSystems (configurable privacy & cross-chain composability).
In public service, Michael served as Acting Director of FinCEN; head of Sanctions Compliance & Enforcement at Treasury’s OFAC; Deputy Chief in the Department of Justice’s Money Laundering Section; and Director at the White House National Security Council.
Julie Lascar, who leads global policy at Digital Asset, the creator of the Canton Network. She previously spent over ten years at the U.S. Treasury Department. She most recently served as the Director of the Payments and Innovation team in Treasury's Office of Terrorist Financing, driving efforts to assess and mitigate illicit finance risks in the digital asset ecosystem through clear and coherent AML/CFT policies and regulations. She also served as the co-chair of the FATF’s Virtual Asset Contact Group, leading multilateral efforts to advance global implementation of the FATF standards.
Kaili Wang, an engineer focused on stablecoins as the rails for modern money movement. At Privy, a wallet infrastructure company recently acquired by Stripe, she leads the development of enterprise-facing products such as flexible custody wallets. Previously, she was the founding engineering lead at Circle Research, where she co-authored Confidential USDC, Recoverable USDC, Refund Protocol, and CCTP v2. She also co-authored “Reversible Transactions on Ethereum” at Stanford University with Dan Boneh.
Jessi Brooks is GC and CCO of Ribbit Capital, a $16 billion fintech and crypto venture firm. A former federal prosecutor turned crypto investor, she spends her days at the collision point of financial regulation, DeFi market structure, and privacy tech—advising founders on how to build systems that are actually safer than legacy rails without recreating the intermediaries everyone came here to avoid. She co-hosts DEX in the City on Unchained and co-authored a programmable risk management framework focused on the overlap of compliance and privacy in crypto and agentic payments.
Kyle Bligen, the Head of Policy and Public Affairs at the Decentralization Research Center (DRC), where he leads the organization’s advocacy before Congress and federal regulators on blockchain, digital asset, and artificial intelligence policy. He previously served as Senior Director of Financial Policy at the Chamber of Progress, advising leading fintech, cryptocurrency, and web3 firms on legislative and regulatory strategy. Earlier in his career, Kyle was Policy Advisor to a U.S. Representative on the House Financial Services Committee and the Congressional Sustainable Investment Caucus. He has also held roles at Cornerstone Government Affairs, the Department of Defense, the State Department, and the House Homeland Security Committee.
