a16z Crypto Managing Partner Dixon recently spoke out in support of advancing the legislation of the "CLARITY Act." He emphasized that crypto builders urgently need a clear regulatory framework—simply put, clear "rules of the game."

This view actually reflects the current state of the industry. Over the past five years, whether it’s the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or the Trump administration, there has been in-depth dialogue with the crypto community. The goal of cooperation is very clear: to protect the core values of decentralization while providing developers and innovators with enough room for support and growth.

The "CLARITY Act" essentially aims to solve this problem—allowing builders to move forward without stumbling in a vague regulatory environment, with rules to follow and evidence to rely on. This is indeed of great significance in promoting the mature development of the entire industry.

Alright, I have to say Dixon's recent statement is somewhat meaningful. Finally, a big shot has started to push this forward. It was previously tortured to death by regulators. Moving forward blindly is really disgusting. When will there be a clear framework? The US politicians' usual routine is back. Every time they say they want to protect decentralization, but isn't it just a bunch of rules and restrictions? Let's wait until the 《CLARITY Act》 is truly implemented before commenting. It's still too early to blow the trumpet now. Honestly, builders should have gone on strike long ago. If this continues, who will dare to innovate? Dixon is at least from a16z. What he says still carries some weight, unlike some YouTubers shouting nonsense.

Finally, someone has spoken out. These past few years have been a blind scramble in the dark... If clarity can really come through, then us builders can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The words are correct, but how exactly should the "game rules" be set to be clear? It seems everyone has their own opinion. Honestly, after all this hype about the regulatory framework, has it really been implemented? Decentralization and providing support space sound contradictory... Will this time truly advance, or will we have to wait another five years?

It's finally happening, someone in Washington is finally speaking up for us. These past couple of years of secretive development have been really frustrating. One department says no, another agency keeps messing with you. Now there's a clear framework, which is good for everyone. Dixon finally dares to openly take a side; the power of a16z is not to be underestimated. It should have been like this a long time ago—rather than guessing, it's better to set clear rules. But honestly, the real question is, when will it actually be implemented? Does anyone know the chances of this bill passing? Let's wait until next year; after all, we’re not in a rush.

Finally, someone dares to say it openly: regulation must be transparent. Otherwise, constantly being on edge while building—who can handle that? --- Dixon didn't beat around the bush this time; the clarity framework is indeed a necessity, a hundred times better than mindless FUD. --- Basically, it's about wanting rules and not wanting to be caught off guard later—understood. --- That's what is said, but the actual implementation is another matter... But at least the direction is correct. --- Wait, is this really happening or just another round of empty talk? --- Decentralization and regulatory frameworks—how to balance these two is also a skill. --- Compared to blindly guessing, having rules is indeed more reassuring, and builders can also feel more at ease.
