Jennifer Rosenthal has taken on the role of Chief Communications Officer at the DeFi Education Fund. Previously, she was the Head of Communications at Grayscale Investments.
On X, she shared her excitement about promoting decentralized finance (DeFi) and supporting policies to encourage its growth in the U.S.
While at Grayscale, Rosenthal worked on key projects, including efforts to launch U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Her background also includes consulting for FGS Global and managing communications for Pearson in emerging markets.
In her new position at the DeFi Education Fund, Rosenthal aims to highlight the potential of DeFi technologies. This sector seeks to deliver traditional financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading through blockchain technology.
Unlike traditional finance, which depends on banks and intermediaries, DeFi allows users to engage directly in financial transactions on decentralized platforms, promoting transparency and accessibility.
The DeFi Education Fund focuses on educating policymakers and the public about decentralized finance. With Rosenthal on board, the organization hopes to enhance its communication strategy to better educate and engage stakeholders about the benefits of DeFi.
Rosenthal believes the next few years are crucial for blockchain innovation in the U.S. She is dedicated to advocating for smart policies and regulations that can support the integration of DeFi into the broader financial system.
