Publishes 10 Regulatory Principles to Guide Industry’s Regulatory Engagement
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Better–Today CoinFund, a leading web3 investment firm, announces the publication of Better Technology, Better System, a whitepaper which outlines the way forward for crypto regulation in the United States with 10 clear regulatory principles. The paper is authored by Christopher Perkins, President of CoinFund, and Member of the CFTC’s Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC).
CoinFund’s whitepaper comes as the US crypto industry grapples with increasing regulatory action, including but not limited to the SEC’s Wells Notice to Coinbase and the CFTC’s recent suit against Binance.

In addition, the whitepaper calls for regulation to focus on the following principles: client asset protection; risk disclosures; transparency; cost-efficiency; inclusivity; engagement and privacy.
Speaking on the publication of Better Technology, Better System, Chris Perkins said, “The best way forward for the crypto industry is through reasoned and good faith engagement. The 10 principles in Better Technology, Better Solutions can guide us towards a path of responsible innovation where entrepreneurs have the certainty that they require to remain focused on building, growing the economy and powering job creation.”
