1. Lobbying to Delay Anti‑Terror Financing Rules
Warren asserts that crypto trade associations—most notably the Blockchain Association and Coinbase’s advisory groups—are working to obstruct bipartisan and Biden administration efforts aimed at preventing crypto from funding terrorist organizations like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. She called these tactics a cynical attempt to delay common‑sense regulations that threaten industry profits .
2. "Revolving Door" Tactics
Warren has condemned the crypto sector’s hiring of former government officials, including ex-congress members, national security and law enforcement personnel, as an effort to gain legitimacy and exert influence in Washington. She criticized this practice as “an abuse of the revolving door,” designed to stonewall policy reform .
3. Lack of Transparency Demands
She has formally demanded that lobbying organizations disclose the names, roles, and compensation of former officials working for them, along with any contacts these individuals had with current government officials—particularly to assess whether these moves are undermining congressional oversight .
