Crypto regulation — SEC, CFTC, MiCA, and global policy

Regulation now drives a meaningful share of crypto's day-to-day volatility. Our regulation coverage tracks the U.S. SEC and CFTC enforcement docket, FIT21 and stablecoin legislation in Congress, MiCA implementation across the European Union, the FCA's UK regime, FATF and Travel Rule compliance, OFAC sanctions enforcement, tax guidance from the IRS and HMRC, custody and qualified-custodian rules, and the global enforcement actions, settlements, and licensing decisions that shape how exchanges, DeFi protocols, stablecoin issuers, and miners can operate. Articles connect each policy development to the protocols and tokens it affects.
