Proud to see @AIPLeads' inaugural Policy Innovation Fellows officially start on Capitol Hill today. Hugo Swangstu and @JacobSmagula completed their online training and are now heading to the offices of @repscfigures and @RepRitchie.
Today, @JacobSmagula and Hugo Swangstu start the next phase of their AIP Policy Fellowship: working as congressional staff in the offices of Reps @RepRitchie and @repscfigures – two Congressional leaders actively engaged on technology policy.
Jacob and Hugo have spent the spring learning policy fundamentals and regulatory frameworks for crypto, AI, and more. Now, they'll put that knowledge to work on the Hill, alongside some of the best.
Stay tuned! We'll be sharing their learnings.

Proud moment for @AIPLeads: our inaugural AIP Fellows have been selected. Congrats to @JacobSmagula and Hugo Swangstu. Thanks to @RepRitchie and @repscfigures for training the next generation of emerging tech policy leaders!
📣NEW: U.S. Congressional leaders, Reps Figures and Torres, welcome our inaugural AIP Policy Fellows!
@JacobSmagula and Hugo Swangstu will serve in the offices of @RepRitchie and @repscfigures, respectively.
"The next generation of policymakers must understand the technologies reshaping our economy, national security, and daily lives. Jacob's placement in our office through the AIP Policy Innovation Fellowship reflects our commitment to building that capacity from the ground up. The Bronx deserves staff who are fluent in the technologies of the future, and I am proud to welcome Jacob to our team," said @RepRitchie Torres (D-NY-15).
"As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, it's essential that Members of Congress are informed and prepared to craft sound tech policy," said Rep Shomari C. Figures (@repscfigures) (D-AL-02). "I look forward to having Hugo in our office and his expertise with tech policy will be a great asset to our office's legislative team."
The fellowship includes a multi-week virtual curriculum on crypto, AI, and tech policy, followed by hands-on training through placements in Member offices of both Republicans and Democrats on the House Financial Services and Agriculture Committees.

Thank you, @DavidSacks47, for your leadership. Your commitment to crypto was clear well before Inauguration Day, including when you joined @BlockchainAssn’s Summit and spent time with industry leaders.
Thanks to your efforts, the future of crypto in the US is stronger than ever.

Recent grads learn about crypto, AI, and emerging tech policy, and then receive year-long placements on the Hill in both R and D offices. Plus: competitive stipend, relocation support, access to policymakers and builders, and a seat at the AIP Summit.

Surreal to officially share the news that I'll be joining @AIP_Leads as Executive Director!
I'm so proud of the work we've done and continue to do at @BlockchainAssn , and I am beyond grateful to @summermersinger and the BA team for unforgettable memories.

Regulatory frameworks focused on intermediaries will never be able to guarantee outcomes. Blockchains can.
Educating policymakers about this and other benefits of blockchain tech is critical to crafting smart and lasting policy.
We’re proud to be an early supporter of AIP.

Couldn’t agree more. The unsung heroes in the trenches over the last ~6 years. Today is their victory.

A note of thanks to the dedicated staff who have labored for years on stablecoins and market structure. Drafting text, taking comments, and negotiating across the aisle.
Tomorrow the President will sign GENIUS and in the coming weeks the senate will take up market structure. All on a bipartisan basis because of the hard work of legislators and their staff.

Congress has sent a clear message: the U.S. is ready to lead in digital finance through thoughtful, bipartisan policy.
We and our 130 members urge the Senate to build on this momentum and look forward to @POTUS signing the GENIUS Act into law.
