"Brett Quick and Linda Jeng will bring the passion and talent to be a force in crypto policy and support leaders as the industry continues its development."

The council is backed by a number of supporters, including crypto exchanges Coinbase and Gemini, as well as a16z, Block, Ribbit Capital, Paradigm, and Fidelity Digital Assets.
The official report also read that the council is working toward providing support for policymakers to solve issues related to sanctions evasion.
Last summer, the CCI hosted a Bitcoin (BTC) virtual event and discussed ways how to drive the adoption of the digital asset.
