Blockchain Association Releases 2023 Annual Report Founded in 2018, the Blockchain Association is a crypto advocacy group spearheaded
by CEO Kristin Smith. According to their website, the organization’s goal is to advance
“a future-forward, pro-innovation national policy and regulatory framework for the crypto economy.” In particular, the report details the Blockchain Association’s launch
of 14 “issue-based and sector-specific working groups” covering significant conversations happening across Web3. Moreover, the advocacy group engaged
in 175 House and Senate meetings and joined nearly 30 calls with White House officials.
“Besides legislative efforts in Congress, our team has filed many comment letters with regulatory agencies to ensure the rulemaking process is fair, narrowly tailored, and does not negatively impact digital asset innovation in the U.S.,” said the Blockchain Association’s Senior Counsel,
Marisa Copel and Senior Policy Director, Sarah Milby.
“The trials of 2023 have only reaffirmed our commitment to our mission, and as we look to the future, we do so with optimism, resilience, and a drive to further our shared vision,” stated
