PGP Pretty Good Policy For Crypto is a crypto-policy initiative, now renamed PGP* (Pretty Good Policy) for Zcash, that was founded by Paul Brigner to raise awareness of Zcash and other privacy-enhancing protocols within the policy community. PGP For Crypto's Twitter Score is 8.0 out of 1000 as of October 2026, ranking #113,318 among 493,668 tracked accounts.
PGP For Crypto was launched by Paul Brigner under Electric Coin Co., which was formerly affiliated with the initiative, to connect policymakers, regulators, technologists, advocates, academics, and digital-asset industry participants through monthly networking breakfasts, policy briefings, and roundtables. Its programming centered on privacy-preserving technologies and their intersection with AML and KYC frameworks. The name drew on both the Pretty Good Privacy encryption standard and Electric Coin Co.'s earlier Pretty Good Pancakes gatherings.
PGP For Crypto produced the PGP* for Crypto Podcast, hosted by Paul Brigner, covering blockchain technology, public policy, and global cryptocurrency regulation. Together with Project Glitch, with which it was formerly affiliated, PGP For Crypto organized the inaugural DC Privacy Summit, sponsored by Coinbase Institute, held on October 24, 2024. A grant application sought $20,000 to support three PGP* meetings and a second annual DC Privacy Summit. The initiative has since rebranded as PGP* for Zcash, directing users to pgpz.org for the successor effort.
