Coinbase launches Crypto435 to push US crypto policy

Coinbase just announced a mass action committee called Crypto435 with the role of helping shape regulatory policies in the U.S. 

Coinbase’s Crypto435

Regulators in the U.S. have been increasing threats towards crypto assets, with rumors of banning some crypto activities like staking surfacing a few weeks ago. In a valid effort to challenge the policymakers, Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges globally, earlier today announced Crypto435. 

The number 435 represents the total number of congressional districts across the United States. The reports indicate that Crypto435 will work as a political action committee to fight for favorable crypto policies amid the current chaos in the crypto regulation space.

This crypto exchange highlighted that regulators in the U.S. are making policies impacting the future of crypto — this will affect all crypto activities, including purchasing, using, and selling crypto assets.

Coinbase explained that  Crypto435 is a campaign mostly focused on growing the “crypto advocacy community and sharing tools and resources to make your voice heard.” Coinbase provided a platform where people could participate and become crypto advocates. 

Coinbase’s target group is people who believe in crypto assets and the potential provided by the web3 landscape. As such, crypto believers need to be part of the action, which will involve directly talking to regulators and legislators about crypto.

Making policies for crypto requires proper and smart regulations to help advance web3 and crypto and also makes some progress in attaining economic freedom. This Crypto435 committee will get info from Coinbase about contacting local politicians and representatives and what to tell them. 

A community ready for action

Based on the responses, the crypto community appears ready for the mass action that will make their voices heard.

For instance, a crypto user called @adam_weigand noted that everyone in the crypto community must participate in bottom-up advocacy to progress forward. Like Coinbase, Adam invited people to join in educating Congress and continue building the U.S.
