Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) has announced its acquisition of Digital Energy Council (DEC), marking its first expansion into the energy policy arena. CCI is a global industry advocacy organization with members including numerous crypto and fintech companies, primarily promoting digital asset regulation, technological innovation, and policy communication, and working to bridge the gap between government and industry. Previously, the organization played a significant role in US policy lobbying. DEC focuses on energy issues related to the digital economy, particularly the impact of crypto mining, data centers, and high-performance computing (HPC) on the power system, with a core focus on energy supply, grid stability, and national security. Following this integration, the energy sector will prioritize policy initiatives including energy development, grid resilience, US competitiveness, and critical infrastructure security.
