In this fireside chat from ETH Denver, crypto-friendly governors Jared Polis of Colorado and Mark Gordon of Wyoming discuss how they each became interested in crypto and blockchain, how their states became friendly to the industry and how to resolve some of the thornier problems in crypto regulation, such as the state-by-state money transmission licensing regime. We also dive into the details on some of the regulations in their states, such as the regulations that make it possible to hold state-specific ICOs, what types of companies are taking advantage of those, and whether there's a bipartisan attitude toward crypto regulation.  Thank you to our sponsors!  CipherTrace: <a href= "https://ciphertrace.com/">https://ciphertrace.com</a> <a href="http://crypto.com/">Crypto.com</a>: <a href= "https://crypto.com/">https://crypto.com/</a> Kraken: <a href= "https://www.kraken.com/">https://www.kraken.com</a> Episode links:  CO Governor Jared Polis: <a href="https://twitter.com/jaredpolis">https://twitter.com/jaredpolis</a> WY Governor Mark Gordon: <a href="https://governor.wyo.gov/">https://governor.wyo.gov/</a> CO Governor Jared Polis’s background:  <a href= "https://gazette.com/election/profile-entrepreneur-jared-polis-sees-governor-s-race-as-a/article_af2d0222-c1b2-11e8-8b2b-afa916b3b182.html"> https://gazette.com/election/profile-entrepreneur-jared-polis-sees-governor-s-race-as-a/article_af2d0222-c1b2-11e8-8b2b-afa916b3b182.html</a> Governor Polis’s letter to SEC chairman Jay Clayton and then-CFTC chairman Christopher Giancarlo on crypto regulation: <a href= "https://www.coindesk.com/lawmakers-renew-calls-us-lead-crypto-innovation"> https://www.coindesk.com/lawmakers-renew-calls-us-lead-crypto-innovation</a> Colorado’s Digital Token Act: <a href= "https://www.coindesk.com/colorado-could-be-next-in-the-race-to-bank-crypto-and-cannabis"> https://www.coindesk.com/colorado-could-be-next-in-the-race-to-bank-crypto-and-cannabis</a> <a href= "https://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/2019a_023_signed.pdf"> https://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/2019a_023_signed.pdf</a> <a href= "https://thetokenist.io/colorado-signs-digital-token-act-into-law-some-digital-assets-exempt-from-securities-requirements/"> https://thetokenist.io/colorado-signs-digital-token-act-into-law-some-digital-assets-exempt-from-securities-requirements/</a> Wyoming passes three crypto-friendly laws: <a href= "https://www.coindesk.com/wyoming-lawmakers-pass-three-bills-in-boost-for-states-crypto-industry"> https://www.coindesk.com/wyoming-lawmakers-pass-three-bills-in-boost-for-states-crypto-industry</a> Wyoming laws: <a href= "https://www.wyoleg.gov/Legislation/2018/HB0070">https://www.wyoleg.gov/Legislation/2018/HB0070</a> <a href= "https://www.forbes.com/sites/caitlinlong/2019/03/04/what-do-wyomings-new-blockchain-laws-mean/amp/"> https://www.forbes.com/sites/caitlinlong/2019/03/04/what-do-wyomings-new-blockchain-laws-mean/amp/</a>
