US Congressman Ro Khanna, who represents the country’s richest district in California’s Silicon Valley, is set to host Joe Biden Administration officials and American businessman Mark Cuban at a crypto round table in early July, according to a Bitcoin Magazine report.

Khanna’s team says the upcoming meeting is “the most significant meeting between policymakers and innovation leaders in blockchain to date,” Bitcoin Magazine reported.

This meeting comes after Cuban warned the Biden administration that its loyalty to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler, and its anti-crypto industry stance, could cost him the election.

Khanna is known as a pro-crypto politician, and he recently expressed his support for the House-passed FIT21 bill. The White House should support the FIT21 Act “to bring regulatory clarity for blockchain and crypto,” he said in a Jun. 3 post on X. Biden later vetoed the bill.

Pro-crypto Cuban recently addressed the Biden administration directly to warn them of the ramifications of the SEC’s hostility towards the digital asset sector. “I have said many times that Biden has to choose between Gensler or crypto voters or it could cost him the Whitehouse,” the billionaire said in a Jun. 9 post on X.
