what's Crypto Council for Innovation?
The Crypto Council for Innovation is a premier global alliance of industry leaders dedicated to advancing responsible innovation in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors. Founded to bridge the gap between the crypto ecosystem and policymakers, the organization focuses on educating governments, regulators, and the public about the benefits of crypto technologies, such as economic growth, financial inclusion, and enhanced privacy. Through research, advocacy, and collaboration, it supports the development of inclusive regulatory frameworks that foster innovation while addressing risks. The Council's work emphasizes three key areas: promoting job creation and economic opportunities through crypto adoption, improving access to financial services for underserved populations, and safeguarding user privacy and security in digital assets. It engages with international bodies, submits policy recommendations, and hosts discussions on topics like market structure and stablecoins. Members include major crypto firms, and the organization operates without issuing tokens, prioritizing policy influence over commercial products.
