Katie Haun is responsible for putting together the amazing web3 policy team at a16z. The former federal prosecutor and Coinbase board member has recruited a former Hillary Clinton and Biden advisor, a former crypto specialist from Treasury, and former SEC and CFTC commissioners as advisors.

a16z has a megaphone with tremendous reach, and their policy work thus far has been fast. The web3 policy hub they unveiled recently has good starting materials for policy makers, most notably a deck that lays out why crypto should be a policy priority for lawmakers, which specific legislative proposals (and working language!) could form the backbone of new crypto laws that address core policy concerns without crippling the industry, and how staffers can get educated and play catch up on crypto. Katie and the a16z team give us a good 1-2 punch going into the new year.
