5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it.
6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone.
7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups.
