Stand With Crypto Mobilizes Community at Baltimore's Inner Harbor Event

Baltimore, MD – Stand With Crypto, a prominent non-profit advocacy organization, hosted a live community event at Inner Harbor/West Shore Park from 6 PM to 10 PM. The gathering aimed to engage crypto enthusiasts and the general public, fostering discussions around the future of digital assets and advocating for clear, common-sense regulations within the United States.

The event in Baltimore is part of Stand With Crypto's broader "Unlock the Block" tour, a series of free block parties designed to bring together crypto advocates, lawmakers, and industry leaders. Previous stops on the tour have included Detroit, which saw over 1,300 attendees, and Green Bay, Wisconsin. These events typically feature live music, food, and opportunities for networking and education on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Stand With Crypto, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, champions for regulatory clarity in the crypto industry by mobilizing the estimated 52 million American crypto owners. The organization's mission is to empower this demographic, which is notably younger and more diverse than the general U.S. population, to actively participate in the legislative process. They advocate for policies that support innovation, create jobs, and ensure America remains a leader in the evolving financial system.

The organization, supported by Coinbase, emphasizes the urgency of legislative action to establish a robust U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets. According to Mason Lynaugh, Community Director at Stand With Crypto, there is "unbelievable momentum, unbelievable attention and focus and bipartisan support for crypto as a topic." The group actively urges lawmakers to pass legislation like the CLARITY Act, which seeks to define regulatory oversight for crypto markets.

Through events like the Baltimore gathering, Stand With Crypto aims to amplify the voice of the crypto community, demonstrating its passion and commitment to policymakers. The "Unlock the Block" series serves as a direct engagement platform, allowing individuals to connect with the movement and contribute to the ongoing dialogue about crypto's role in the American economy.
