The U.S. cryptocurrency policy landscape has evolved significantly, with a network of advocacy groups pushing for regulatory clarity. Recent additions include the Hyperliquid Policy Center, established in 2026, and the Solana Policy Institute, launched in 2025. These organizations join established entities like Coin Center, the Blockchain Association, and the DeFi Education Fund in advocating for clearer regulations. Coin Center, the oldest think tank, focuses on user rights and privacy, supporting legislation like the Keep Your Coins Act and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). The Blockchain Association, representing over 100 members, aligns industry interests, advocating for tax equality and market structure legislation. The DeFi Education Fund emphasizes decentralized finance, supporting BRCA and promoting self-custody and privacy. The Solana Policy Institute and Hyperliquid Policy Center focus on ecosystem-specific issues, such as securities tokenization and perpetual futures trading. These groups collectively aim to protect developers, reform staking tax policies, and uphold user self-custody rights, marking a shift towards professionalized, nuanced policy engagement in the U.S. crypto industry.
