A16z, OpenSea partner with Stand With Crypto to create NFT legal fund

A16z, OpenSea partner with Stand With Crypto to create NFT legal fund  

Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z Crypto fund has partnered with Stand With Crypto and OpenSea to create the Creator Legal Defense Fund.

According to releases from OpenSea and a16z, this initiative is designed to provide legal support and consultation to artists and creators using blockchain technology, particularly those working with NFTs

A6z has pledged $1 million to the defense fund, joining OpenSea, which committed $5 million. 

NFTs have empowered artists to directly monetize their work, maintain authenticity, and earn royalties through smart contracts. 

Legal challenges and assistance

Recent legal challenges, including a Wells Notice issued to OpenSea by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, have raised concerns within the NFT community.

The growing regulatory pressure on blockchain-based creators has made legal assistance a priority.

The fund will offer creators legal assistance from firms such as Cooley LLP, Fenwick & West LLP, Goodwin Procter LLP, and Latham & Watkins LLP.

These services will help artists ensure their projects are legally compliant and provide defense against potential government actions, according to a16z.

Miles Jennings, General Counsel and Head of Decentralization at a16z, wrote that “the fear of potential legal repercussions should not hold back well-meaning artists” from exploring new initiatives like NFTs.
