Avalanche's policy alliance announced the official launch of a new advisory committee, led by Lee Schneider, General Counsel of Ava Labs. Committee members include Chris Holmes, a member of the House of Lords; Bart Smith, CEO of Avalanche Treasury Co.; Laine Litman, COO of Avalanche Treasury Co.; and Jolie Kahn, CEO of Avax One Technology. The committee's three core priorities for 2026 are token classification, the definition of intermediaries, and protecting internet access. Lee Schneider stated that the committee aims to ensure global regulatory and legal synergy, preventing significant differences in rules across major jurisdictions from hindering the operations of blockchain and crypto companies.
