The initiative comes as enforcement actions and pending market structure legislation raise questions about how privacy tools and open-source developers are treated.
The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI), Fedi and Cornell University are launching a two‑year study on how Americans view financial privacy, the trade‑offs they will accept and how regulation shapes their behavior.
The initiative brings together a Bitcoin (BTC) wallet company with an academic center and a policy think tank, aiming to connect how privacy tools are built, researched and ultimately governed.
According to Fedi and BPI, the research will combine quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to examine attitudes toward financial privacy and their evolution.
