BlockBeats report: On October 5, the Zcash advocacy organization Pretty Good Policy for Zcash (PGPZ) submitted its lobbying registration in Washington on October 1, with Executive Director Divij Pandya listed as the sole lobbyist. The registration outlines current and anticipated lobbying issues, including the CLARITY Act and two digital asset tax proposals. PGPZ was established in June of this year, evolving from Electric Coin Co.’s 2022 initiative, Pretty Good Policy for Crypto, which previously hosted policy roundtables in Washington and organized a congressional briefing on cryptocurrency technology in 2023.
Paul Brigner, founder of PGPZ and Chief Policy and Regulatory Officer at ZODL, stated that the goal is to ensure serious, organized, and credible policy engagement for Zcash in Washington. In August, the Zcash Community Grants approved a $750,000 grant to fund PGPZ’s first year of work. (Cointelegraph)
