The Digital Chamber

We’re pleased to welcome Howden as a new industry member of The Digital Chamber. As the digital asset ecosystem matures, risk becomes more complex - and more critical to get right. That’s where Howden comes in.   Howden is truly a global insurance broker bringing together expertise with specialist teams across 57 countries. Its dedicated digital assets practice works closely with exchanges, custodians, Web3 companies, protocol developers, and other infrastructure providers – as well as organisations looking to enter the digital asset space - to design coverage that reflects the realities of this fast-evolving market.

1/ DeFi breaks a core assumption in financial regulation: that there’s always an intermediary. But what if there isn’t? This week, @DigitalChamber released its DeFi Policy Principles 🧵 digitalchamber.org/tdc-defi-polic…

Happy Meme Monday. Progress takes patience. We have plenty of both. 💪

Today, we are proud to release our DeFi Principles. As decentralized finance continues to mature, we need market structure for all including developers. We’re laying out a clear framework for how both retail AND institutional users can participate in the space. More: bit.ly/4sUQbVv

1/ @DigitalChamber's AI + Quantum and Compliance & Cyber Working Groups responded to @NIST’s RFC on Software & AI Agent Identity—offering recs on NCCoE’s proposed project. Agentic AI means the ? is no longer “who logged in?” It’s: who is accountable when software takes action?

We are excited to announce that we have submitted feedback to @NIST regarding the @NISTcyber exploration of standards related to Software and AI Agent Identity and Authorization. We have full confidence that this project will deliver exceptional utility. bit.ly/4sLhh17

2/ We were proud to support the passage of these bills alongside other innovators in the space. At TDC State Network, this is our focus: supporting coordinated, forward-looking state action and steadily advancing progress state by state.

1/ West Virginia and Alabama have enacted DUNA legislation, joining Wyoming in formally recognizing DAOs as legal entities with liability protections. 🧵 theblock.co/post/396181/al…

We’re delighted to welcome Nick Brooks as CryptoUK’s new Policy Director, joining us at an important time as we continue to build on our engagement with policymakers and regulators in the UK, while also strengthening our transatlantic work with @DigitalChamber. Nick will lead CryptoUK’s policy and regulatory advocacy across the board, working closely with our members and stakeholders to help shape and represent our collective priorities. Over the coming weeks, Nick will be meeting with many of our members and partners, and looks forward to connecting with our wider community in the months ahead. Before joining CryptoUK, Nick founded Two Trees Capital, an investment company operating across digital assets and traditional finance, managing capital across multiple asset classes with a focus on early-stage investments and active derivatives strategies. He previously spent twelve years in senior leadership roles with the Swire Group and Cathay Pacific, working across Hong Kong, Japan, Qatar, Vietnam and Indonesia, where his roles spanned government relations, regulatory negotiation, corporate strategy and commercial operations. Nick brings first-hand experience of the challenges associated with operating a crypto business in the UK, alongside a strong belief in the potential of blockchain technology to broaden access to financial products and services and support long-term economic prosperity. Welcome to the team, Nick 😊 We’d also like to highlight that @DigitalChamber is currently recruiting for a Global Policy Director. This role will work closely with Nick and the wider CryptoUK team to strengthen alignment across UK, EU, and transatlantic policy efforts—helping ensure our members’ voices are represented not just in domestic conversations, but in the global frameworks now taking shape. If you, or someone in your network, brings strong UK/EU policy expertise, cross-jurisdictional experience, and a builder mindset, it’s well worth exploring this opportunity: buff.ly/BY8iQOd

ICYMI: At last week’s DC Blockchain Summit, @money2020 announced Intersection: a new book exploring where TradFi meets DeFi. Drawing on thousands of global signals, real-world use cases, and voices from across regions, the book launches this June in Amsterdam. 👀

Huge win. @USDOL moving from “don’t touch crypto” to “evaluate it like anything else.” That opens the door for 401(k) adoption and billions in potential inflows. Thank you @SecretaryLCD !

We're grateful to see @RepMaxMiller and @RepHorsford release the Digital Asset PARITY Act discussion draft. A modern tax framework is critical to keeping innovation in the U.S. @DigitalChamber has led the charge through multiple tax roundtables on Capitol Hill, and we won’t stop until a common-sense framework is law.
