The DeFi Education Fund and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) have jointly urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish a regulatory 'safe harbor' for blockchain applications. Their August 13 proposal challenges the SEC's stance that app developers facilitating securities transactions could be classified as brokers.

The initiative seeks a 'rebuttable presumption' that peer-to-peer software interfaces aren't engaging in broker-dealer activities. 'Forcing broker registration on neutral apps WOULD fundamentally alter their architecture,' the proposal warns, framing the issue as a threat to innovation rather than mere compliance.
