Crypto Giants Coinbase, DCG, Kraken Launch Tax-Exempt ’Education’ Nonprofit—Lobbying in Disguise?
Crypto's biggest players just found a new way to shape policy—under the guise of 'education.' Coinbase, Digital Currency Group (DCG), and Kraken are among the heavyweights behind a freshly unveiled tax-exempt nonprofit. Because nothing says 'public good' like a lobbying effort dressed in altruistic clothing.
The 'Teach-to-Regulate' Playbook
The group claims its mission is to 'educate' policymakers and the public about digital assets. Translation: expect a flood of whitepapers, webinars, and 'expert' testimony designed to sway regulations in their favor. It’s the same playbook Big Tech used—now with 100% more blockchain.
A Cynic’s Footnote
Wall Street perfected the art of tax-advantaged influence decades ago. Now crypto’s learning fast—because why pay taxes when you can just 'educate' them away?
