Thanks Tom,

This is interesting progress -- they even mention "interoperability".

Subject: [Blockchain-interop] Coinbase Digital Asset Policy Proposal - incl. Interoperability

Coinbase, attempting to get out in front of digital asset policy.  In summary they say:

  *   Regulate digital assets under a framework separate from current financial regulations
  *   Designate 1 regulator for marketplaces for digital assets (MDAs), rather than the myriad that exists today for financial markets
  *   Create a new self regulatory organization (SRO), essentially an oversight board for MDAs

The 4th and final pillar is to – Promote Interoperability and Fair Competition

  *   “interoperability with products and services across the cryptoeconomy” (p.9)
  *   Section 4 (p.25) provides details regarding interoperability
     *   “affirmatively promote interoperability across the crypto ecosystem” (p.25)
     *   “allow free and open exchange of information across networks rather than closed and permissioned walled gardens” (p.25)
