Founded in 2018, the Virtual Commodity Association (VCA) is a non-profit organization working towards the goal of establishing an industry-sponsored, self-regulatory organization for the U.S. virtual currency industry. The organization began as a committee to explore ways of ensuring consumer protection and market integrity in virtual commodity marketplaces, and has since evolved into a more formalized organization spread across six committees and overseen by a board of directors.
