CryptoBriefing and Cointelegraph both cover PGPZ's first Washington lobbyist registration but disagree on whether its $750,000 funding grant has already been approved.
CryptoBriefing and Cointelegraph both cover PGPZ's first Washington lobbyist registration but disagree on whether its $750,000 funding grant has already been approved.
What all sources agree on
- Pretty Good Policy for Zcash (PGPZ) registered Divij Pandya as its first/sole lobbyist.
- The figure of $750,000 is tied to PGPZ's funding request from Zcash Community Grants for its first year of operations.
- PGPZ's lobbying agenda includes the CLARITY Act / Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and digital asset tax policy.
- Paul Brigner and ZODL are connected to the earlier groundwork or founding of the PGPZ effort.
Where the reports disagree
1Whether the $750,000 Zcash Community Grants funding has been approved or is still pending
Funding is still in progress. PGPZ is seeking a $750,000 grant from Zcash Community Grants to cover its first year of operations.
In August, the Zcash Community Grants approved a $750,000 grant to fund PGPZ's first year of work.
What would settle it: Zcash Community Grants' official grant records or disbursement announcement
What to make of it
Treat the existence of PGPZ's lobbyist registration and the $750,000 figure as established, but do not treat the grant as confirmed funded or still pending until Zcash Community Grants' own records are checked.
