Uniswap's former head of policy joins the Blockchain Association, bringing a new driving force to the advancement of the US crypto regulatory framework

[Chain News] The Blockchain Association has recently recruited Lindsay Fraser, the former Head of Policy at Uniswap Labs, to lead the association’s entire policy advancement efforts.

While at Uniswap, Fraser was responsible for handling policy-related issues just as US regulators were still figuring out how to oversee DeFi. Now, having moved to the Blockchain Association, her new role serves 146 member companies, and the scope of her work has expanded. However, she says her hands-on experience in DeFi should come in handy.

In an interview, Fraser revealed that the association will focus on several major issues in the coming period: keeping track of the Senate’s ongoing debates over the market structure bill, monitoring the implementation of the stablecoin bill set earlier this year, and planning ahead for the direction of cryptocurrency tax policy. After all, the Blockchain Association ranks among the prominent lobbying organizations in Washington, and these topics are unavoidable.
