Welcome to our latest episode of Women in Crypto, the podcast presented by the Association for Women in Cryptocurrency and sponsored by Bracewell LLP! In this exciting episode, we discuss crypto advocacy efforts at the state and federal level and the economic and political imperatives of introducing sensible crypto policies. Kristina Howard is an Executive Vice President and Head of Public Affairs at the RXN Group, a multistate public affairs and government relations firm, where she advises and represents clients across diverse industries, including the NFT space. Stephanie Murphy is a businesswoman, policy expert and former U.S. Congresswoman. She made history as the first Vietnamese American woman ever elected to the US Congress in 2016. Murphy was known as an effective legislator cutting through partisan gridlock to establish an exceptional record of legislative success. In this episode, sponsored by Bracewell LLP, we explore the incredible work of our members worldwide, shedding light on the evolution of crypto adoption, advocacy efforts at the state and federal level, dollar hegemony, financial sovereignty, and the impact of emerging technologies on national security.
