PANews reported on January 28 that a nonprofit initiative backed by Coinbase and a16z—the American Innovation Project—has introduced what I believe is a promising research fellow program targeting recent college graduates. This initiative aims to provide lawmakers' offices with crucial industry expertise as Congress works on shaping crypto regulations. Moreover, the program welcomes both recent graduates and those completing their degrees by spring 2026, who will first undertake a comprehensive multi-week online course covering emerging technologies such as cryptocurrency and AI. Subsequently, participants will spend a year working alongside bipartisan members of the House Financial Services and Agriculture Committees while receiving compensation. Overall, the goal is helping lawmakers develop a deeper understanding of technologies like encryption.
