- Crypto’s regulators fear easing, but self-regulation is important to prevent fraud and ensure true innovation.
- The industry needs to move from hype to real-world impact. Projects need transparency, utility and concrete advancements.
- The Avalanche Foundation is facing a backlash against Delaunch’s opacity, raising concerns about insider activity and accountability.
In Washington, DC, the crypto business has had an important opportunity to demonstrate a shift in regulatory attitudes. Cryptocurrency fans were released when the regulatory environment changed, according to Avalabs CEO Emin Gün Sirer. No longer fearing government hostility, participants chanted the congratulatory “USA USA.” However, Schiller emphasized that the industry must adopt greater self-regulation due to fewer regulatory barriers.
The event yesterday in DC was a watershed moment. At some point, I found myself at a crypto party, with people expressing relief that crypto talent no longer need to flee the country, that crypto people no longer need to worry about getting debanked, and that crypto projects need…

Scammers and fraudulent projects are still a threat, and the community must actively eliminate bad actors. What’s more, the days of exaggerating technical terms without providing real solutions are over. Teams need to focus on building functional and scalable products that truly contribute to blockchain innovation.
Calling for transparency and responsibility
Beyond optimism, communities must enforce accountability. Sirer emphasized that crypto participants should question which individuals contribute to the space. Without concrete results, self-policy is essential to maintain reliability. Fraudulent traders and empty promises can no longer define the industry. Therefore, projects must show actual progress rather than hiding in complex terms.
Furthermore, the crypto world must fulfill its promise. Investors and users should be aware of unfair claims. Technologies such as Zkslurps and Zksplurges need to be supported not only by theoretical benefits but practical results. The focus should be on real adoption and strengthening blockchain utilities. This is a critical moment for the industry, and only those who provide value will thrive.
The Avalanche Foundation faces criticism of Delaunch
The industry moves towards maturity, but controversy surrounds the Avalanche Foundation. The number of community members, including 0xmastercrypto1, has raised concerns over the lack of transparency in the Delaunch project. The project reportedly lacked key elements such as telegrams and mismatched channels, appropriate documentation, token utility details, and an accessible GitHub repository.
🚨🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨🚨
I don't understand how @avax and the @AvalancheFDN pushed @delaunch and @ai9000_delaunch without having the Delaunch be public with the following:
A. A discord or telegram channel for community engagement
B. Access to project documentation.… pic.twitter.com/osUB3NB5EI

Additionally, condemnations have emerged regarding insider activities. Reports show that certain individuals snipered their own projects, including $aigg, $albert, and their own token $ai9000. Avalanche supporters are frustrated by the lack of clear communication and community involvement. Concerns about the integrity of the project were raised further when attempts to contact the foundation for explanation came into contact with the silence.
