Seven Ethereum Protocol Teams Form Alliance to Engage on Crypto Policy

Why It Matters

By uniting major DeFi players, EPAA could shape regulatory frameworks that affect billions of dollars of locked value, reducing legal uncertainty and fostering broader adoption of Ethereum‑based services. Clearer rules may unlock additional capital, as surveys show a sizable share of investors are waiting for regulatory clarity.

Summary

Seven leading Ethereum protocol teams—Aave Labs, Aragon, Curve, Lido Labs Foundation, Spark Foundation, The Graph Foundation and Uniswap Foundation—have formed the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance (EPAA). The alliance will pool technical expertise to influence emerging crypto regulations, representing protocols that secure over $100 billion in assets and a total Ethereum TVL of $78.6 billion. EPAA aims to educate policymakers on DeFi mechanics and ensure that decentralization principles are reflected in future rules. The group will collaborate with entities such as the DeFi Education Fund and the European Crypto Initiative to provide coordinated policy input.
