You're watching Coin Desk. This next interview is one of the highlights from Consensus 2025.

Hey folks. Amazing to be almost done with our first day of consensus.

It's been a busy day so far. We've talked about stable coins a lot and the role of the states in regulation, prosecution

of software developers, how to head off truly bad actors.

And we've now got a guy who's going to bring it all together for us, going to close it

out for us.

Bo Heinz, the executive director of the President's Council of Advisors on Digital Assets. Does they get that right?

You got it right. It's not the sexiest acronym, but he gets the job done. It's a heck of a title.

But basically you're the, I don't want to put words in your mouth,

but you're the administration's sort of liaison for crypto,

working beside Cryptos are David Sachs, basically trying to move

That's right. Okay, so welcome, Bo. Thanks so much for joining us at consensus. We appreciate it. So before we get started, by applause if I could, I'm curious about this. Who hears from Canada?

Canadians? Okay.

And how about from the States?

It's a good mix.

Anyway, there is a considerable

This is, we're going to be a bit U.S. centric on this discussion for obvious reasons.
