Avalanche Policy Coalition unveils advisory council, calls for ‘global energy’ as crypto rules across the world take shape

The Avalanche Policy Coalition has established a new advisory council, led by Ava Labs General Counsel Lee Schneider and featuring key figures like UK House of Lords member Chris Holmes. The council's three core priorities for 2026 include defining token classification, defining intermediaries, and protecting global access to the internet. This initiative was inspired by the coordination among the four main entities in the Avalanche ecosystem (Ava Labs, the Avalanche Foundation, and two treasury companies) to ensure they are unified on policy matters for both Avalanche and the broader crypto industry. The timing is crucial as jurisdictions worldwide, including the U.S., EU (with MiCA), UK, and Japan, are actively shaping new crypto regulations. Schneider emphasized the need for global synergy in these regulations, arguing that significant differences between major jurisdictions create friction for global blockchain and crypto projects.
