Additionally, He recommended limiting ongoing listing fees to 0.1% per year to make it more affordable for businesses to maintain their tokens.

Saylor also emphasized the need for clear classifications of different types of digital assets. He suggested regulators define categories for stablecoins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), tokenized real-world assets, and meme coins.

Establishing clear definitions, he argued, would help businesses and investors understand their rights and obligations.

Beyond financial and classification concerns, Saylor urged regulators to clarify the responsibilities of crypto businesses and token holders. He argued that clearer rules would create a more stable and transparent environment for startups and established companies.
