a16z Crypto, a crypto venture capitalist firm speculates on the crypto regulatory landscape.
The SEC’s hostile approach towards the sector had posited several obstacles in the past.
After months of patience, the crypto community is finally witnessing good tides hitting its sails. With the crypto-positive US elections results, the sector has been highly optimized into a bull run, with currencies reaching new trading levels. Meanwhile, the regulatory landscape has also spurred action, as the community speculates on the next Chair of the SEC.
Meanwhile, US-based venture capitalist company a16z crypto published a blog addressing the ‘positive path’ that lay forward with this new Trump government. The article primarily focused on how significant the coming months would be for the crypto industry. The firm is affirmative that the government would now foster innovation and provide an opportunity for crypto growth.
Additionally, they delved into the various consumer benefits that our sector will now be able to deliver—without obstacles. These included giving users ownership of their digital identities, reducing cross-border payment costs using stablecoins, and introducing decentralized social communities.
In the article, a16z Crypto stated:
“We’re very optimistic that the government will now foster innovation, accelerate progress, and enable the crypto ecosystem to thrive in the U.S.”
Secondly, they also stated that the new government opens up doors for ‘constructive engagement’ with regulatory agencies. a16z Crypto also advised cryptocurrency firms that, despite having increased flexibility we should also remember that basic regulatory principles still apply.
What Does a16z Crypto Predict for Crypto’s Regulatory Future?
The venture capitalist firm diverges into two aspects when addressing the cryptocurrency community. It states that builders now hold both opportunity and responsibility towards others. a16z Crypto expects regulatory scrutiny to continue for certain divisions of the crypto market.
Meanwhile, other projects have been holding back on particular innovations such as tokens’ issuance due to regulatory constraints. They could have the confidence to move forward under this new regime.
In the previous term, the SEC’s hostile approach towards cryptocurrency had left members with numerous obstacles to move forward. Subsequently, a change in leadership on the regulatory front comes as a sign of relief. The constraints in regulations had affected both novel, developing projects and well-established institutions such as Coinbase alike.
