MoonPay joins Crypto Council for Innovation

We’re thrilled to announce that MoonPay has joined the Crypto Council for Innovation, a global advocacy group for responsible crypto regulation. 

Bringing together the industry’s top minds, CCI champions policies that promote responsible crypto innovation. Its work includes engaging with policymakers, drafting regulatory frameworks, and submitting public comments on proposed policy.

“We are excited to welcome MoonPay and Bitpanda as CCI’s newest members,” said CCI’s President and Acting CEO, Ji Hun Kim. “Both organizations are leaders in broadening access to digital assets, making blockchain technology more accessible to consumers worldwide.”

Before joining CCI, Kim was General Counsel and Head of Policy & Regulatory Affairs at crypto exchange Gemini. He leads CCI alongside COO Annie Dizon, who has 20+ years of experience in tech and was most recently VP of Communications at the nonprofit TechSoup. 

"The future of crypto depends on clear, thoughtful regulation that fosters innovation while also protecting consumers,” added MoonPay’s CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright. “By joining CCI and collaborating closely with members, we can create a framework that ensures this technology reaches its true potential."

CCI was launched in 2021 by founding members Paradigm, Fidelity, Square, and Coinbase. Other notable members include Circle, a16z, PayPal, and the Solana Foundation.
