1/ The Blockchain Association now has 40 members. We want to tell you about who’s joined the team…🧵

2/ We’re proud to welcome 8 new members: @AaveAave, @ClimateTrade, @edgeandnode, @hiFramework, @GenesisTrading, @Ledger, Metrika, & @investvoyager.

3/ As we’ve grown along with the broader crypto industry, we’ve made it a point to cultivate members working on varied aspects of the diversifying field.

Our members innovate on lending, trading, mining, venture capital, network security, custody, DeFi, and more.

4/ So...we say it’s important to grow our membership. Why does that matter for the industry?

Speaking as a disciplined chorus, rather than brilliant soloists, that’s what DC lawmakers and regulators pay attention to.

Crypto is still young, and vulnerable to DC mood swings.

5/ The past 6 months are typical; from FinCEN trying to ban "unhosted" wallets, to the prospect of a crypto champion at the SEC, to new (sometimes crypto-skeptical) ppl at Treasury, to Musk rattling the cages...it’s vital to have a loud voice in DC to fight for the industry.
