Coinbase Wants Coders to Help With Its Crypto Regulation Proposal
A GitHub repository went live Thursday in a bid to make open source a proposed framework to U.S. officials.

“This framework represents our good-faith suggestions on a U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets,” Coinbase wrote. “We encourage your contributions to this discussion about the role of digital assets in our shared economic future.”

As of press time, one user has proposed two pull requests; two users have chimed in with quick words of encouragement.
The proposal from the publicly traded crypto exchange comes as regulatory discussions in Washington, D.C., swirl – made all the more juicy by the looming prospect of the first approval of a bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund (ETF) by U.S. regulators.
Venture capital giant (and early Coinbase backer) Andreessen Horowitz is also assembling a crypto policy proposal for U.S. lawmakers.
