Policy Positions

Relative to other industries of similar size, the crypto industry has uniquely captured the focus of policymakers and regulators. This attention creates unique challenges and opportunities: policies enacted over the next few years could prove to be existential threats to the industry, or they could lay the foundation for a flourishing and vibrant cryptocurrency and blockchain economy in the United States. Industry leaders from the membership chair the association’s working groups, which address on-going policy challenges and are open to all employees of member organizations.
