Maxwell Frost

Democratic congressional candidate Maxwell Alejandro Frost is setting up a national council to advise him on cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies so that he might champion regulatory policy to utilize them, his campaign announced Thursday.

“I’ve been contacted by many of them about leaning in to learn how it could be used to benefit people in Central Florida. This campaign is about listening to the wants and needs of our constituents and taking action. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are the future and they are here to stay.”

Frost’s Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Advisory Council will include a Democratic Congressman from New York, Ritchie Torres, whom Frost’s campaign says is a “leading proponent for smart cryptocurrency and blockchain regulation."
