The a16z Show · Marc Andreessen and Chris Dixon: What’s at Stake in Crypto Regulation · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

I mean, it should be, you know, it's a smart risk-based regulatory framework and

We think will allow for people to build products that are long-term products and build trust in the market.

Consumers will, you know, consumers, investors, and so forth, all the market participants will have trust in the market because it's regulated, because there's a framework around it.

And that's how you build a real industry long-term.

Yeah.

Well, one is we'll keep working on it and someday it will pass.

Number one, it will pass.

Number two, a lot of these things can and are being done at the agency level, meaning the agencies, the SEC, CFTC, Treasury, and so forth.

I think that the big difference is legislation is de facto permanent.

in a way that agency rulemaking is less so, and that's important both to make sure the rules are there for the long term, for protecting consumers, but also for industry to have confidence.

You want to make an investment, you want to build something, those things can take many years to build.

If you have to try to build on shifting sands, you're much less likely to make that investment of time and money, and it's just much harder to

You've got enough to worry about as an entrepreneur already without having kind of a shifting maze of regulatory changes.

So that would be the downside.

It would just sort of prolong that.

But also, look, I think I'm optimistic it will get passed in the near future.

But if it doesn't, we will keep working on it.

Yeah, well, as I mentioned before, I think of a simple way to think of a blockchain is a disintermediation machine.

It lets you build internet services where instead of having kind of a bunch of, you know, organizations in the middle taking pieces of the sort of the take, the money along the way, you can build advanced internet services where it's think of it as peer to peer.

I can send you a dollar.
