Your board members are crypto enthusiasts so I would recommend getting somebody who is very knowledgeable in crypto to 1) assess if crypto is a good fit for the company 2) if yes, then how to go about executing it in a way that it's legal and profitable.

It's possible that you may be proven wrong or likey that you're right. Either way, it would be hard for a board of say no to such an idea and it would delay the execution of it to such time as when your investments can vest. If they still move forward by then and you're uncomfortable despite all this, you can leave as soon as your stocks have vested. Your goal today is to delay, secondary is to convince.
