Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, partner Chris Dixon said government officials should follow ethics rules, but argued those standards should not be written to apply only to the cryptocurrency sector. In a post on X, Dixon said the current version of the CLARITY Act could become the first law in U.S. history to regulate an industry while also imposing special ethics restrictions on officials tied to that same sector. The provision in question would require government employees to disclose their cryptocurrency holdings. Dixon said that kind of disclosure rule, if used, should apply across all industries rather than being limited to crypto alone. His comments drew discussion about whether the bill’s approach is fair.
