"The most important real-world address in all of crypto may very well be 1155 F Street in Washington." @TheInformation captures @BlockchainAssn's role at the center of crypto's Washington policy ecosystem describing BA as "crypto's most powerful trade group." None of this happens without our members. Proud of what this industry has built together. Great reporting from @Yueqi_Yang.

If you work in the blockchain industry and are not a member of The Blockchain Association, you should consider joining Through my work at ABE (Ardent Blockchain Education) I am a grateful member thanks to its parent company, @ArkEcosystem This incredible group of professionals fights tirelessly on behalf of our industry, and I constantly recommend other individuals and companies join BA, especially after personally being involved the last two years While we have made significant headway in transforming the United States into the crypto capital of the world, there is still much work to do, from passing the Clarity Act to ensuring offshore businesses come back home to build here If you’re a founder, operator, business owner, foundation or any other interested party, feel free to DM me so I can help make intros to the BA staff

Our work on digital asset policy and law enforcement issues extends beyond Capitol Hill—and even beyond U.S. borders. This week in Santiago, Chile, BA's Finley and Will joined representatives from the Financial Analysis Unit, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Investigations Police of Chile, the U.S. Embassy, and the U.S. Department of State for a discussion on blockchain technology, illicit finance, and cross-border cooperation. We appreciate the opportunity to exchange perspectives and strengthen international dialogue on these important issues.
