Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has suggested four main areas where the U.S. government can govern cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

The firm outlined Tuesday what it saw as key issues in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector – including consumer protections, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), assessing regulatory fragmentation and overlap, as well as tax reporting and clarity regarding certain blockchain ecosystems.

“Each of our four proposals is designed to stand on its own, but taken together, they represent the start to a comprehensive approach to supervision, oversight, and taxation in a decentralized environment,” the venture firm said.
