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

So, as you mentioned, we do have some rules for stablecoins that covers a sliver of the market, but there's this gigantic swath of the market that remains largely unregulated.

Mark, why do we need rules for all of this, and why do we need them now?

So you mentioned something in there, which is FTX.

I think everybody might remember that exchange and its big implosion and collapse and all the fallout from it.

What is inside of the clarity bill that would prevent something like that from happening again?

Works well when things are going up.

Yeah, let's talk about that.

Let's go over the fights that are going on with this bill.

By the way, it's like 600-something pages, I think, at this point.

Yeah.

Um, but, uh, so let's go over each of these fights, each of these debates that's going on.

You talked about illicit finance.

That's one of the big ones.

And in fact, one of the biggest opponents to the bill is Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Her and her camp, she's called it a ticket to sanctions evasion.

That's a quote from her.

You know, if you hear her describe it, she says that North Korea and terrorists and ransomware hackers, they're going to run wild if this bill passes.

What do you say to that?

Mark, what do you think about this criticism that the bill enables sanctions evasion?

Right on, yeah.
