CALIFORNIA, CA, UNITED STATES, April 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Stand With Crypto Appoints Carrie “Ms. NFTy” Lyn as California President, Launches Statewide Crypto Tour Bridging Blockchain, Culture, and Policy

The grassroots movement with over 2 million advocates expands in California with immersive activations, voter education, and policy engagement.

CALIFORNIA — Stand With Crypto, the nonpartisan movement protecting the future of blockchain innovation, has appointed Carrie “Ms. NFTy” Lyn as the California Chapter President. To launch her new role, Lyn kicked off the California Crypto Tour, a first-of-its-kind initiative blending blockchain education, immersive community experiences, and civic engagement across four cities — Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento.

The tour began in Los Angeles, where Web3 met West Coast culture in an all-star activation featuring NBA legend Lamar Odom, blockchain advocate Wendy O, and Aventurine, of 9dcc a luxury Web3 fashion brand. There, Carrie introduced the tour’s official mascot: the Cali Crypto Bear — a playful, AR-powered homage to California’s iconic state bear. Designed to engage and educate, the Cali Crypto Bear is a symbol of innovation, resilience, and accessibility in the blockchain space.

In San Francisco, the tour brought the party to the iconic House of Web3, which was transformed into a full-blown crypto carnival. Guests were treated to live jugglers, contortionists and Brazilian-style dancers performing throughout the event — fusing creativity and culture with the future of tech. The Cali Crypto Bear even made a special appearance, delighting attendees. Interactive fireside chats, augmented reality tour merch, and purple pea flower drinks completed the multisensory experience, while guests unlocked on-chain tools, and gained knowledge from top Web3 voices of the Bay area.

Next up: San Diego, where on Saturday, April 12th, the tour continues with a Web3 Scavenger Hunt in Little Italy. JOIN NOW and RSVP, the event features discovery zones, giveaways, and product demos from some of the most innovative and beloved Web3 brands, including:

SUI Blockchain
Edge Wallet
VeeFriends: Minis
9dcc
Bored Ape Yacht Club: Made by Apes
Bored Munchies
Ape Water; Bored Distillery & Bored Spirits
Chipped Social (tech-powered press-on nails that instantly connect people to your digital identity, socials, or crypto wallet with a tap)
Silent Swap by SquidGrow

Participants will be able to claim crypto, explore new Web3 tools, and unlock exclusive merch and digital experiences. The scavenger hunt will wrap with a beachside lunch open to families and newcomers alike — showing the fun and inclusive side of blockchain.

The final stop will be in Sacramento, where Lyn and Stand With Crypto will host a private reception for state lawmakers following a key legislative session on digital assets and technology. The event will provide an opportunity to share real feedback from communities across California — from educators and students to builders and creators — focused on what’s needed from government leaders to foster innovation and inclusion.

“I’m not here to talk at lawmakers,” said Lyn. “I’m here to bring the voices of our communities forward — from underserved youth learning Web3, to builders who want California to stay competitive. Our goal is to help legislators understand what’s needed for responsible growth and how blockchain can be used as a tool to better serve the people.”

A veteran business strategist with over 20 years of experience, Lyn has advised government agencies, nonprofits, and startups on how to integrate blockchain and emerging technologies to improve transparency, increase access, and empower constituents. Through her EdTech platform LearnVille, she’s already helping train the next generation of builders and change-makers from historically marginalized communities.
