Uniswap’s Lindsay Fraser to Lead Policy at Blockchain Association

Published at 2025-12-05 14:15:10

The Blockchain Association has named Lindsay Fraser — known for her policy work tied to Uniswap — as its incoming policy chief. The move places an experienced DeFi-focused voice at the association just as lawmakers and regulators wrestle with how to treat decentralized finance and market infrastructure.

Fraser's appointment matters because Congress is considering a market structure bill that could reshape trading, custody and compliance obligations across crypto. Industry participants, including UNI holders and DeFi projects, will be watching to see how the association frames technical and market arguments in negotiations. With Fraser in a leadership role, the Blockchain Association is positioned to push for outcomes that preserve protocol innovation while engaging on regulatory guardrails that matter to the broader ecosystem.
