On behalf of Deputy Assistant Secretary Melissa Koide (Consumer Policy) and Deputy Assistant Secretary Jennifer Fowler (Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes), I would like to invite you to participate in a day-long virtual currency event at the Department of the Treasury on Thursday, January 22, 2015, jointly hosted by Treasury's Office of Domestic Finance (DomFin) and the Office of Terrorism and the Financial Intelligence (TFI). The event's primary purpose is to educate senior government officials about the development and uses of virtual currency and to identify the major areas of regulatory uncertainty that will need to be addressed as the industry matures. The event is intended to foster productive dialogue among senior policymakers, informed by a select group of virtual currency industry leaders. High-ranking Treasury officials will provide opening and dosing remarks, reflecting the Department's commitment to financial innovation in the context of a safe, secure, well-regulated financial sector. The event is invitation-only and is closed to the public. Through panel discussions and opportunities for remarks from the floor, the event's first half will focus on how different types of virtual currency function in the financial space; the variety of business models that are emerging for virtual currency-related financial entities involved in payments, securities and commodities products and services; and the direction of future innovations. The second half will identify current and future regulatory issues across a broad range of potentially relevant regulatory jurisdictions (AMUCFT, safety and soundness, consumer protection, securities, commodities), and how they might be addressed. It will be important for virtual currency industry representatives to provide information on potential technology-based and business-model based solutions to a variety of issues, including customer identification. We would like you to be a panelist on Panel 1, discussing Virtual Currency Basics and Potential (60 minutes). A preliminary agenda is attached. Participants will include approximately senior 80 government officials and staff responsible for virtual currency issues (federal and state regulators and other senior policy officials), and a smaller group of leaders from the virtual currency industry (start-ups, venture capital firms, virtual currency exchangers, and academics), as well as a few bank representatives. There will be additional opportunities to foster dialogue during lunch and coffee breaks, and for private sector representatives to provide demonstrations in a break-out room for interested parties. Due to space constraints and the event's purpose, only a limited number of private sector thought leaders will be invited. This invitation is to you only and is nontransferable. Accordingly, please let me know as soon as possible if you can attend. Your participation and perspective would be a valuable contribution to this important event and would strengthen our efforts to address cutting edge policy issues in this space. I very much hope that you will be able to 'oin us.
