Membership
Blockchain Association is the collective voice of the crypto industry. Our nearly 100 members include the sector’s leading investors, companies, and projects, working together to support a future-forward, pro-innovation national policy and regulatory framework for the crypto economy.

Around Washington
The policymaking process, shaped by the interplay of politics, government, and industry players, and the structural processes available to achieve change, is decidedly messy. Our team knows and works with the right people to advance smart policies and block harmful ones. Through education, direct advocacy, congressional testimony, and coalition building, we work to ensure the industry’s priorities are reflected in policy, which we can do on your behalf or alongside you.
Member benefits
- Representation before Congress and key regulators
when you’re too busy to advocate. - Policy analysis of key legislation.
- Summary memos following critical hearings on Capitol Hill.
- Lobby days, Hill visits, and educational briefings for you
and your team to directly engage with Washington policymakers. - Political strategy for you and your organization’s executives.
In the Courts
The crypto industry faces wide-ranging public policy challenges, and digital assets and decentralized networks do not fit neatly into existing legal and regulatory frameworks. We serve as the voice of our members in the courts by filing amicus briefs, which help educated judges on issues core to our industry, and by submitting comments in response to proposed regulations, a critical way that members can have their voices heard not only in the legislative process, but also in the administrative and regulatory process.

and industry when government oversteps. - Opportunity to participate in industry feedback
