How Federal Regulatory Changes are Impacting the Venture Capital Landscape
It was week of “cryptocurrency drama” on the House floor, with the House set to vote on crypto-related bills during the Capitol’s “Crypto Week.” As investors waited to see if crypto regulatory frameworks would pass, the July 4th passage of The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act introduced changes for startups and VCs, highlighting the importance of regulatory compliance for corporations in planning and operations.
As we continue to track how AI and market realities are impacting the VC landscape, I wanted to dive into some of the regulatory changes that may affect founders and funders, and how firms can adapt to the evolving environment.
In this edition of Venture Legal, I assess:
- Key changes relevant to VCs and startups under OBBBA
- Possible changes to SPAC rules
- Potential crypto policy changes
And what it all means for investors and startups, including exploring:
- Will it be easier for solo VCs to compete
- Will we see an increase in secondary deals
- Will we see more SPACs and more
