According to reports from Wu, the DeFi Education Fund, along with a16z Crypto, Uniswap Labs, and the Solana Policy Institute, submitted a statement calling for the U.S. Senate to establish a dedicated regulatory framework for DeFi in the (2025 Responsible Financial Innovation Act). The DEF emphasizes the need to distinguish between DeFi developers and centralized intermediaries, implement technology-neutral regulations, and suggests that federal legislation should take precedence over state laws to prevent traditional finance from suppressing competition through regulation.
