New U.S. Crypto Group AIP Joins Crowded Field, Targets Policymaker Education

Another crypto lobbying group enters the fray—because apparently Wall Street's army of lobbyists just wasn't enough.

Education or Influence?

AIP storms onto the scene with the same tired mission: 'educating' policymakers who've been staring at blockchain whitepapers since Bitcoin was worth less than a pizza. They're joining a field so crowded you need a token to get in—every exchange, protocol, and moonboy influencer already has their own D.C. operation.

The Real Curriculum

They'll teach Congress about decentralization between fundraisers with banking committee staffers. Lessons include 'How to Regulate Without Killing Innovation' and 'Why Your Son's NFT Project Deserves Tax Exemptions.' Because nothing says 'grassroots movement' like K Street offices and six-figure consulting fees.

Washington's New Cash Crop

Politicians suddenly become blockchain experts when PAC donations flow faster than Ethereum gas fees. The only thing they'll be 'educated' about is which crypto executives have the deepest pockets—a real masterclass in how regulatory capture gets tokenized.
