The Blockchain Association, Coinbase Institute, VanEck Digital Assets Initiative at University of Southern California, and Electric Coin Co. are proud sponsors of the PGP* for Crypto Briefing and Roundtable Series.

The Special Meaning of PGP:
The “PGP” reference is in homage to Pretty Good Privacy encryption and is carried over from Electric Coin Co.’s longstanding Pretty Good Pancakes breakfasts held in conjunction with industry events. As the first freely distributed, high quality public-key cryptography system, PGP was a widely used tool among cypherpunks for privacy protection and has had a major influence on the development of cryptocurrencies. PGP is still used today, especially in the cyber threat intelligence community.
