Zcash Advocacy Group Launches Lobbying Efforts in Washington
- Pretty Good Policy for Zcash (PGPZ) filed a lobbying registration effective October 1.
- Divij Pandya is named as the sole lobbyist for PGPZ.
- Current lobbying issues include the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and digital asset tax proposals.
- PGPZ was established in June, evolving from Pretty Good Policy for Crypto launched in 2022 by Electric Coin Co.
- In August, the Zcash Community Grants approved a $750,000 grant to fund PGPZ’s first year of operations.
The formation of PGPZ highlights the increasing focus on privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies within US policy discussions. The group aims to ensure that Zcash is effectively represented in legislative matters that could impact its use and legality.
With a $750,000 grant backing its efforts, PGPZ seeks to engage policymakers on critical issues affecting privacy-preserving digital cash like Zcash. (Source)
