Fraser, who worked on policy issues for Uniswap as the industry wrestled with how decentralized finance (DeFi) would be handled by the U.S. government, will take on a wider role for the 146 member companies at her new association, though she said her DeFi experience will help with that ongoing discussion. The group, which is among the leading organizations in a crowded field of industry advocates in Washington, will be closely focused on the market structure bill now being negotiated in the Senate, the implementation of the stablecoin law established earlier this year and the future of U.S. crypto tax policy, Fraser said in an interview.
"If I've done my job, the industry will be operating with a lot more certainty," she said. She wants policymakers to see BA as "a trusted partner and the voice on crypto policy," and that'll require a strong coalition "that's capable of sustaining progress, despite administration changes or any sort of market cycle."
The same day she starts work on Dec. 8, the Blockchain Association is hosting its annual policy summit in Washington, with speakers including Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. The group — led by a former commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Summer Mersinger — has grown by 58 member companies this year, according to a spokesman.

Vanguard Reverses Crypto ETF Ban, Triggers $200 Billion Market Surge
The post Vanguard Reverses Crypto ETF Ban, Triggers $200 Billion Market Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. // News Reading time: 2 min Published: Dec 05, 2025 at 15:43 The dramatic surge was attributed to the world’s second-largest asset manager, Vanguard Group, reversing its long-standing ban on trading crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The cryptocurrency market experienced a massive, unanticipated rally on December 3rd, with Bitcoin (BTC) smashing through the $93,000 level and the total crypto market capitalization adding over $200 billion in value within 36 hours. The “Vanguard Effect” and institutional green light Vanguard, which had previously held a staunch anti-crypto stance, citing it as “speculative” and unfit for long-term portfolios, announced it would now allow its clients to trade various Spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs on its platform. This reversal effectively opened the gates for millions of conservative retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to digital assets through one of the most trusted names in passive investing. The “Vanguard Effect” was immediately amplified by other major financial institutions: Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch followed suit by allowing over 15,000 of its financial advisors to recommend a small (1% to 4%) allocation to crypto ETFs for suitable wealth management clients. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded one of its highest trading volumes to date, crossing the $1 billion mark in a single day. Market mechanics The sudden, unexpected institutional buying pressure, combined with forced buying from short-sellers, triggered the liquidation of over $360 million in leveraged short positions. This short squeeze further accelerated BTC’s price past key resistance levels, driving Ethereum (ETH) above $3,000 and boosting other major altcoins. The news signifies the final collapse of the traditional finance industry’s resistance to crypto, confirming that the asset class is now firmly entrenched in the mainstream investment ecosystem.
