Market Structure
Digital asset markets require fit-for-purpose regulatory frameworks. Blockchain Association advocates for clear market structure rules that define jurisdiction, ensure a safe and secure ecosystem, and encourage compliant U.S.-based growth across digital asset markets.
Inconsistent and ill-suited oversight between and across agencies has slowed U.S. digital asset innovation and global market competitiveness.
Developer Protections
Policies should protect the developers of open-source software, especially from liability when that software is used by independent bad actors.
Token Classification
Policies should establish clear classifications for tokens, delineating securities, commodities, and other asset types with precision.
Non-Custodial Software and Services
Policies should protect non-custodial software and services from inappropriate regulatory classifications as intermediaries or financial institutions.
