” Binance.US leaves Blockchain Association to form own DC government affairs team “
A Binance.US spokesperson told Cointelegraph, “We believe it’s time we had a clear voice with meaningful impact in the emerging policy debates around digital assets and cryptocurrencies in Washington. We are excited to establish our own Government Affairs team in D.C. to actively engage in direct and constructive dialogue with U.S. policymakers on smart regulation that increases clarity and trust, while allowing American innovation and leadership to flourish in crypto.”
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, commented in Twitter on April 11 on a March report by Public Citizen in which Binance was not listed among the top ten crypto-focused lobbyists in 2021, noting the company’s absence. Blockchain was ranked third in that list.
Damn, looks like we need to do our share…

Binance.US joined the Blockchain Association in August 2020, and founding member and Binance competitor Coinbase left shortly afterward. The Blockchain Association currently has “more than 80” members, according to Blockchain Association spokesperson Curtis Kincaid, although the website lists 78 member organizations.
Blockchain Association spokesman Kincaid told Cointelegraph, “The Blockchain Association wishes Binance.US the best of luck as they build out their operation in Washington. […] [T]he Blockchain Association will continue to build on its strong track record in 2022 to advance the shared goals of the crypto ecosystem and ensure America remains at the forefront of technological innovation.”
