In an interview with Coindesk, Brian Quintenz, a former senior official of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) who served as a consultant to venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), stated that federal regulators must work closely to establish a comprehensive cryptocurrency framework. 

Brian Quintenz added: "Are those the laws that we would create now in response to any issues or problems or dynamics that currently exist? I would probably say no.
