The American Innovation Project (AIP) was launched on August 18, 2025, as a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating U.S. crypto policymakers. AIP aims to provide a nonpartisan platform for lawmakers, innovators, and entrepreneurs to discuss and develop solutions for the evolving crypto landscape. Supported by Digital Currency Group, Cedar Innovation Foundation, and Coinbase, AIP will host its first summit on August 21 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, alongside the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium. Led by Kristin Smith, former leader of the Blockchain Association, AIP is backed by a board of members from various crypto organizations. The initiative seeks to equip U.S. leaders with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate emerging crypto regulations.
