US Takes the Lead in Defining Crypto Standards for the Future

The United States is at the forefront of setting regulations for cryptocurrencies, a move that will significantly shape the future of this emerging asset class globally. While global standards for financial markets are traditionally set by entities like the European Union, the US is driving changes in cryptocurrency regulation. 2021 and earlier saw headlines about countries banning cryptocurrencies, but recent regulatory efforts from both the US under the Trump administration and the EU’s MiCA have established a more stable environment for digital currencies.
