Coinbase estimates there are 52 million crypto owners in the U.S.
Coinbase last month started a non-profit, Stand With Crypto, to advance pro-crypto policy.
That group has recently held events in Ohio, Nevada, Georgia and Montana that have "tested the capacity to organize crypto advocates,” Coinbase said in a blog.
