Crypto lending platform BlockFi, which earlier this year paid a record fine to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve regulatory charges, is the latest company in the nascent digital currency industry to hire lobbyists.

The company has tapped a five-person policy team with law and lobbying firm Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, including partner Mark Epley and legislative and public policy practice group chair Kevin O’Neill, according to a federal lobbying disclosure this week.
