- "The law requires California's Department of Financial Protection (DFPI) and Innovation to create a regulatory framework for crypto."
- "The framework includes a licensing regime and gives the department enforcement and rulemaking authority over the sector."
- "The DFPI also gets an 18-month implementation period to ensure "the adopted regulatory framework can be thoughtfully tailored to address industry trends and mitigate consumer harm."
