Blockchain Association replaces CEO after Clarity Act defeat

  • —Christine Smith returns as interim CEO of the Blockchain Association on October 16
  • —Smith led the association from its 2018 launch until 15 months ago
  • —Smith will keep her role as president of the Solana Policy Institute
  • —The Clarity Act failed in the Senate, opposed by all Democrats and some Republicans
Why it matters: The leadership shake-up at Washington's main crypto lobby comes after the industry's flagship bill stalled, potentially slowing the push for new rules.
