#Eight Associations Join Forces to Promote Encryption Policies#

The Blockchain Associations of eight U.S. states have joined forces to form the North American Blockchain Association (NABA), aiming to provide a unified voice on cryptocurrency policy recommendations to the federal government. Led by the Texas Blockchain Council, the organization includes the Alabama Blockchain Alliance, California Blockchain Advocacy Coalition, Florida Blockchain Business Association, Ohio Blockchain Council, Pennsylvania Blockchain Alliance, Virginia Blockchain Council, and the Cascadia Blockchain Council of the Washington Technology Industry Association.NABA's establishment comes in response to the U.S. government's regulatory policies on cryptocurrency, particularly those targeting Bitcoin miners. NABA members believe the Biden administration's policies are unfair to Bitcoin miners, citing examples like the DAME tax and the Department of Energy's data collection practices on Bitcoin miners. They hope for a more crypto-friendly policy from the Trump administration, advocating for a level playing field for Bitcoin miners.The formation of NABA signifies the active engagement of the U.S. crypto industry in policymaking, seeking to influence government policy through unity.
