Zcash Pursues DC Influence to Shape Crypto Policy

Key Summary

A newly registered lobbying operation, Pretty Good Policy for Zcash (PGPZ), has been established to push crypto policy in Washington. Zcash-focused PGPZ, launched in June, lists the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and two digital asset tax proposals as lobbying issues. PGPZ's sole lobbyist, Divij Pandya, aims to ensure Zcash has organized and credible policy engagement in Washington, influencing decisions on privacy-preserving digital cash. The initiative received a $750,000 grant from the Zcash Community Grants to fund its first year of work, with the goal of defending Zcash in policy conversations.
