We are thrilled to announce that Former Congressman Tim Ryan has officially joined Lightning Capital’s Board of Advisors.

This appointment marks a pivotal moment for Lightning Capital. Congressman Tim Ryan has been an unwavering advocate for blockchain innovation, demonstrating exceptional insight, proactive leadership, and accessibility. We met Tim through his active involvement with the Bitcoin Innovation PAC in 2023, which further solidified our alignment to drive value through data ownership, security, and privacy in the digital asset space.

Through 20 years of distinguished service in the U.S. House of Representatives (2003–2023), Tim brings unparalleled expertise. As a key member of the Appropriations Committee, he chaired the Legislative Branch Subcommittee and served as Vice Chair of the Defense Subcommittee. He also co-chaired the Congressional Manufacturing Caucus, championing American industry, a perspective that aligns seamlessly with Lightning’s focus on innovation and growth.

Today, Tim serves on the Boards at Coinbase and Americans for Responsible Innovation, reinforcing his deep commitment to advancing technology and national security. His legislative advocacy for balanced crypto regulations and his leadership in post-congressional initiatives like the Blockchain Innovation Project (BIP) underscore his dedication to fostering blockchain innovation while ensuring sensible oversight.

Tim’s voice has been instrumental in shaping bipartisan collaboration around cryptocurrency policy and promoting its transformative potential within the financial sector. His critiques of regulatory overreach and public advocacy for fair oversight resonate deeply with our vision for a thriving digital asset ecosystem.

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Tim Ryan to the Lightning Capital Board as we continue to drive forward innovation in blockchain technology. Together, we are building a future defined by opportunity, transparency, and growth.
