a16z: The issuance of over 13 million Meme coins this year indicates a regulatory vacuum in the crypto space

In its "2025 State of Crypto Report," a16z Crypto, a digital asset venture capital fund under Andreessen Horowitz, noted in its "State of Cryptocurrency 2025" report released on Wednesday that the issuance of over 13 million memecoins in 2025 indicates a regulatory vacuum in the cryptocurrency sector and an urgent need for market structure legislation in the United States. a16z Crypto emphasized that the passage of regulatory legislation would provide a clearer framework for cryptocurrency builders and investors. The passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, currently under review in Congress, would protect consumers by adding safeguards, enabling oversight of blockchain-based intermediaries, and creating a clearer regulatory path for digital commodities.
