#CryptoRoundTableRemarks
📢 In the last round of the SEC regarding crypto, important theses for the future of DeFi were discussed:
🔹 SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: "Engineers should not be held responsible for how others use their code."
🔹 Commissioner Peirce: "Code is a form of free speech."
🔹 E. Vorhees: "Smart contracts are a qualitative leap compared to human regulatory bodies."
🔹 And most importantly – Decentralization ≠ Lawlessness. It is transparent, predictable, and user-controlled.
📌 My position: DeFi developers are the architects of the system and not bankers. Equating them with financial intermediaries distorts the technological essence of blockchain. However, at the same time, there must be accountability for the conscious creation of systems to circumvent the law.
Intelligent regulation should not focus on the code but on the actual behavior of the protocols and their operators.
