U.S. policy organizations introduce crypto-background talent to strengthen congressional digital asset legislation capabilities
Golden Finance reports that on May 6th, the American Innovation Project (AIP), a U.S. technology policy advocacy organization, added two policy researchers, including Jacob Smagula, who has a background in the crypto industry, to join Representative Ritchie Torres’ team to work on legislation related to digital assets.
It is reported that Smagula previously worked in the government affairs team at Bitcoin mining company MARA and is currently engaged in policy research at the DeFi Education Fund, with experience in communication between the crypto industry and regulators.
Founded in 2025, AIP is supported by organizations such as Digital Currency Group and aims to provide congressional members with professional knowledge and policy support on emerging technologies like AI and digital assets. This appointment is seen as a further signal of the United States’ move towards greater specialization in crypto legislation and regulation.
