A16Z Crypto: CFTC Should Clarify Blockchain Protocol and Application Rules
2025-12-16 14:43:34
A16z Crypto said in a post that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should clarify blockchain protocols and application rules to protect developers. The CFTC launched the "Crypto Sprint" in August to provide regulatory guidance and promote innovation in the digital asset market. A16z Crypto believes that the CFTC should clearly state that blockchain networks, smart contract protocols, and their developers are not subject to the registration requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), and provide no-action exemptions and/or explanatory guidance on when applications are not required to register with the CFTC. Formal rulemaking and/or exemptions should also be taken to provide safe harbor or innovation exemptions.
