PANews reported on December 5th, citing CoinDesk, that as the crypto industry pushes for immediate action from the US Congress on a bill establishing a regulatory framework for the digital asset market, The Blockchain Association has hired Lindsay Fraser of Uniswap Labs to lead its policy affairs. Fraser previously handled policy affairs for Uniswap when the industry struggled with how the US government would address DeFi. Now, she will assume broader responsibilities for the association's 146 member companies, though she stated that her DeFi experience will help advance the discussions.

In an interview, Fraser stated that the association is one of the leading industry advocacy groups in Washington and will closely monitor the implementation of the market structure bill currently under negotiation in the Senate, the stablecoin bill established earlier this year, and the future direction of U.S. cryptocurrency tax policy.
