Paradigm established a policy lab to promote cryptocurrency advocacy

ChainCatcher news, the crypto venture capital firm Paradigm announced on Tuesday the launch of what they call a "first-of-its-kind" policy lab, which will serve as a "hub" for academics, policy experts, lawyers, and technologists.

The co-directors of the Policy Lab, Rodrigo Seira and Brendan Malone, wrote in a blog post: "Over the past year, Paradigm has established itself as a policy leader, engaging in everything from defending crypto in court to convening thought leader meetings to publishing policy-focused research."

It is reported that the team will produce "cutting-edge research, commentary, and advocacy" on the most pressing policy issues facing crypto and other frontier technologies. As part of the launch program, Paradigm Policy Lab announced two inaugural academic researchers, Primavera De Filippi from Harvard's Berkman Klein Center and Agostino Capponi from Columbia University, who will study the term "regulatory equivalence" to describe "the comparability of legal and technological constraint systems, and how to achieve the same policy outcomes through regulatory or technological frameworks."
