- NexusOne Consulting, a new government relations firm, aims to help crypto and AI companies shape U.S. policy.
- The firm is led by a white-collar defense attorney, a former government lawyer, and a former Commerce Department official.
A new government relations firm that includes former administration officials started operations in Washington, D.C. to help crypto and artificial intelligence companies shape U.S. policy.
NexusOne Consulting is led by Jeff Ifrah, a white-collar defense attorney; Jim Trusty, a former government lawyer who has represented the Trump administration; and Ross Branson, who served in the Commerce Department during President Donald Trump’s first term.

“There’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of tech policy,” Ifrah said in a press release. “We’re here to make sure innovators don’t just react to policy —they influence it.”
Trump has signaled his intent to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world,” and has moved to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve.
Located directly across from the White House, NexusOne touts itself as a bridge between private industry and government. The firm plans to lobby for companies working at the edge of AI, crypto, and social platforms.
Francisco is a reporter for CoinDesk with a passion for cryptocurrencies and personal finance. Before joining CoinDesk he worked at major financial and crypto publications. He owns bitcoin, ether, solana, and PAXG above CoinDesk’s $1,000 disclosure threshold.
