The digital camera will elevate Cody Carbone to be its executive director next month, replacing the founder Perianne Boring, who renounces after a decade on the oldest cryptocurrency defense group in the US.
While preparing for his last Summit of Washington, DC, Blockchain next week, the digital camera informed its members that Boring will move to preside over the organization’s board, while Carbone, a presence of cryptographic policy for a long time, assumes the position of CEO. The transition of the group coincides with the long -awaited change in the US government.
“We are no longer in a defensive position, where we have a government that is essentially trying to close the industry,” Boring said in a Coindesk interview.
Digital assets enjoy a support wave of the United States government, with a presidential summit in the White House earlier this month and signs of progress in the Senate and the House of Representatives, which easily advanced a cryptographic issue in recent days. But the two basic bills, the regulation of the stables and the scenario of railings for the general industry, represent the ultimate goal of establishing crypto as a regulated and regulated corner of the financial system of the United States.
That means that Carbone, previously the Digital Chamber Director, will seek to participate in the Stripte and Crypto-Structure legislation of Stablecoin and Crypto in Congress now.
“We have not yet reached anywhere,” Carbone told Coindesk this week. The industry, during the lobbying years of its predecessor, has “constantly approached erroneous concepts, bad narrative, the fight against government.” Despite the new political success, the “very high” expectations of cryptography and support enthusiasts well located throughout the government, the organization has to “focus all our efforts to meet those expectations, making policies promulgate what we want.”

The first legislative achievement of the sector during the Carbone mandate can be the reversal of a rule of the internal tax service that would have discussed decentralized financial projects (DEFI) as stockbrokers that needed to monitor their users for fiscal purposes. Legislators are taking advantage of their powers under the Congress Review Law to reverse the Biden administration rule, and the great waves of democratic support helped the resolution to clear both cameras, so only expect a second procedural approval of the Senate before going to Trump’s desk to sign.
That would mark the inaugural effort Pro-Crypto to turn on its path successfully to the signing of a president of the United States, but the other legislation is the main objective of Carbone, and predicted that it will happen this year.
“Cody really shines in that execution,” Boring said. “That is the immediate priority, executing all the things that we have happened last year or the last decade building and doing them.”
The digital asset space has a field full of busy lobbying groups stalking the corridors of the Capitol, the White House and the regulatory agencies. The digital camera is among the most prominent of them and has most of the members, although their budget has been surpassed by the Blockchain association in recent years.
The list of defense and education organizations also includes the Crypto Council for Innovation, the Coin Center, the Defi and others Education Fund, including the new association launched by Ripple Labs, the National Cryptocurrency Association, which is being supported by a massive subsidy of $ 50 million.
Boring said he has no immediate commitment to an out of the organization
“My next step is really to explore additional passions that I have in the cryptography space,” he said.
