On March 19, 2025, The Digital Chamber (TDC), an essential voice in the blockchain and digital asset space, announced a strategic shift in leadership aimed at propelling the organization into a new era of advocacy. This transition marks a pivotal moment for the industry as TDC embraces a proactive stance to influence blockchain policy in Washington, D.C. The change not only reflects the evolving landscape of digital assets but also the urgent need for established advocacy in a rapidly changing regulatory environment.
Leadership Changes within TDC

Boring’s tenure as CEO has been marked by significant milestones in advocating for the digital asset ecosystem, making her insights and strategy essential as TDC navigates its next chapter. “Our focus is now on execution,” Boring emphasized, reflecting on the unique opportunity for the organization and the industry at large to shape a more favorable policy environment in the United States.
The Context of Change: A Thriving Crypto Climate
This leadership change occurs during a critical juncture for the digital asset industry, characterized by supportive leadership from both the White House and Congress. Such an environment has catalyzed a historic moment for TDC to move beyond a defensive approach and actively work on frameworks that foster innovation and regulatory clarity within the blockchain space.
Perianne Boring noted the significance of this governmental shift. “For the first time, we have a government that recognizes the strategic importance of digital assets. Now is the time to advance policy, drive adoption, and execute on the vision we have been fighting for over the past decade.”
