Catenaa, Friday, April 04, 2025-Miller Whitehouse-Levine, former CEO of the DeFi Education Fund, has launched the Solana Policy Institute, a nonpartisan nonprofit aimed at informing policymakers on the broader crypto landscape beyond Bitcoin.
The institute, announced Monday, seeks to engage with the SEC’s new Crypto Task Force and incoming leadership at the CFTC.
Its primary focus is on shaping stablecoin and market structure legislation, which Congress is actively working on.
President Donald Trump has urged regulators to provide clear guidelines for the industry, with stablecoin legislation expected by August.
Whitehouse-Levine emphasized the need for education in Washington, where crypto is often equated solely with Bitcoin. The institute aims to advocate for technology-neutral policies and a level regulatory playing field. While focused on Solana’s ecosystem, it aligns with broader industry efforts to ensure fair treatment across blockchain networks.
Although the institute has secured financial backing, Whitehouse-Levine declined to disclose its funders, stating only that they are supporters of the Solana ecosystem. The Solana Foundation has clarified that it is a separate entity.
