WBBC era

Wisconsin's Digital Asset Policy Forum

Wausau · May 28, 2026 · Doors 5:30 PM

The Wisconsin Blockchain Business Council convened candidates, legislators, and industry leaders for an evening focused on the policy questions shaping digital assets in our state. The forum was a chance to hear where the people who will write Wisconsin’s next chapter on this technology actually stand — and to meet the operators building it here.

The forum was open to the public and free to attend.

Local coverage

WSAW-TV News Channel 7 in Wausau previewed the forum twice in the run-up, which is the point of taking digital-asset policy out of Madison and Milwaukee: in central Wisconsin it is local news rather than industry news.
