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

It applies all the same kind of money laundering and—

you know, treasury, other kind of treasury rules to crypto intermediaries that are applied in other markets.

The Fraternal Order of Police just came out with their endorsement of the Clarity Act, the largest law enforcement organization in the country.

You know, so people are sort of opponents are saying it doesn't have proper law enforcement, you know, clauses and rules, but this is simply not true.

So drag it into ChatGPT and ask, is there a money laundering?

It's not that hard.

If people want to actually learn about this, you can do it.

Yeah, it's no excuse.

I mean, right now, it's extremely unclear, for example, which entities are subject to what rules.

And so what you have is essentially a dynamic.

What I've learned is when you have gray areas in regulation, you have essentially a race to the bottom.

Because you'll have, look, I was on the board of Coinbase for a long time, Mark's on the board.

Coinbase is a US-based company.

They take regulation and compliance extremely seriously.

But for every Coinbase, look, it costs a lot of money and it slows down your product development.

Every year, a new offshore competitor will pop up that doesn't do those things and becomes popular because they can offer lower fees or whatever, better iterate their product faster because they're not doing all the compliant things.

And so over and over again, we've had this phenomenon where there's sort of the good actor that, you know, this is one of the things that's frustrated us, frankly, is that we try to bet on the good actor, the compliant actor.

And then for every one, there's kind of this evil twin, you know, the doppelganger offshore that sort of copies all the features but doesn't do the compliance.

And gets, yes, and gains popularity.

And so what you end up having is just you end up, the ambiguity ends up favoring the bad actors, right?
