Ifrah explained that his team did not see many firms with the necessary experience in the space and saw a benefit in "starting up a new shop with our kind of relationships and connections in the administration" and "also paired that to a vertical industry we were familiar with you know, for which there wasn't a lot of competition out there."
In a press release, Trusty said, "NexusOne was launched to give the crypto, AI, and other emerging tech industries a seat at the table."

Bo Hines, executive director of the President's Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, told Fox News Digital earlier this month that Trump is aiming to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world," and that the administration is well on its way to ushering in "the golden age for digital assets."
Ifrah told Fox News Digital that many potential clients in the space are looking for a "seat at the table" and he believes NexusOne is the firm to help them do that.
"Technology is outpacing policy, and that creates both opportunity and risk," Ifrah said in the press release. "We created NexusOne to ensure that companies at the frontier of innovation have a trusted, connected voice in Washington."
"There’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of tech policy. We’re here to make sure innovators don’t just react to policy—they influence it."
