As 2025 draws to a close, the digital asset industry stands united in purpose and progress. At Blockchain Association, we’ve worked deliberately to cultivate this unity, by convening diverse voices, forging consensus on complex issues, and translating that shared vision into effective advocacy. The result is the most credible coordinated industry voice in Washington, one that is constructive, principled, and trusted.

This year, we demonstrated our unity’s effective power. Policymakers across both parties continued to come to Blockchain Association and our members for expertise and collaboration, recognizing that sound policy begins with clear understanding, and that our industry speaks with a chorus of strong voices towards achievable goals.

It hardly needs to be said that 2025 was a milestone year for our industry. The President’s signing of the GENIUS Act stands as proof of what we can achieve together. This landmark legislation — the first comprehensive digital asset law in U.S. history — didn’t emerge overnight. This success was the product of years of advocacy, countless member working sessions where we aligned on priorities, bipartisan engagement with dozens of congressional offices, and the disciplined unity that allowed us to speak clearly and consistently throughout the legislative process.

When members of Congress needed to understand the technology, the use cases, and the stakes, they found our industry ready with aligned perspectives and constructive solutions. It’s clear that GENIUS would not have become law without your tireless engagement, expertise, and advocacy.

But this is only the beginning. The GENIUS Act laid the foundation for a more transparent and innovation-friendly regulatory environment. Yet, much work remains to bring these principles to life. As agencies begin implementation and new legislation moves forward, our unified perspective will matter more than ever. Our mission hasn’t changed: to ensure the rules of the road are clear, consistent, and aligned in order to secure America’s global leadership in this vital technology.

This year, we also deepened bipartisan collaboration on market structure and stablecoin frameworks, engaged regulators in open dialogue, and strengthened our position as the trusted voice for responsible innovation. Behind every success was the same formula: bringing members together early, building consensus thoughtfully, and presenting unified positions that carried weight because they represented genuine industry alignment.

Our collective strength lies in that unity and Blockchain Association’s role is to nurture and channel it effectively. Your insights, your expertise, and your willingness to collaborate drive everything we accomplish. Every comment letter, working group meeting, Capitol Hill education session, and public statement reflects our commitment to speaking with one voice — not because we agree on everything, but because we’ve done the hard work of finding common ground on what matters most.

Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your voice. The progress of 2025 is proof of what we can accomplish together. The future for Blockchain Association — and our industry — is bright.
