ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, the digital asset venture fund a16z crypto under Andreessen Horowitz pointed out in its "2025 Cryptocurrency Status Report" released on Wednesday that the issuance of over 13 million meme coins in 2025 indicates a regulatory vacuum in the cryptocurrency space, highlighting the urgent need for the U.S. to pass market structure legislation.

a16z crypto emphasized that the passage of regulatory legislation will provide a clearer framework for cryptocurrency builders and investors.
