This is a pivotal moment for the blockchain industry—and for Algorand. A wave of legislative and regulatory activity in Washington, D.C. is underway, and what happens next will shape the future of crypto in the U.S. for years to come. That’s why it’s critical that Algorand has a seat at the table. It’s one of the reasons I was so excited to join the Algorand Foundation, and it’s why I’m proud to help bring the Foundation into the Blockchain Association—the leading voice for innovation-forward crypto policy in the United States.
At the Foundation, we believe blockchain technology can deliver real, measurable impact—from driving financial inclusion to enabling secure, decentralized identity. But to unlock that potential, we need open access, permissionless innovation, and new forms of digital public infrastructure. Achieving that vision requires a modern, future-focused policy environment.
Throughout my career at the intersection of law, finance, and technology, I’ve seen how essential it is to engage early and constructively with policymakers. The Blockchain Association is doing exactly that—educating lawmakers, engaging regulators, and championing a policy landscape that protects consumers without stifling growth in the industry.
Through the Association, we now have a seat at the table in conversations that matter: from stablecoin and market structure legislation to ongoing discussions around decentralization, privacy, and the future of open-source protocol development. The rules of the road are being written, and we intend to help shape them.
At Algorand, we’re not just talking about what’s next for crypto—we’re focused on what’s already possible. Our technology powers real-world use cases today: instant cross-border payments, traceable and ethical supply chains, decentralized identity systems, and more. We bring that same practical, mission-driven approach to the policy arena.
We’re proud to join a coalition of builders, innovators, and advocates working toward a future where blockchain serves everyone. I’m looking forward to contributing to the important work the Blockchain Association is doing, especially in areas like tokenization, access, and responsible governance.
The Foundation has already begun participating in key working groups, and I’m eager to collaborate with peers across the industry to help ensure that U.S. policy supports open networks, global access, and long-term innovation.
