The Good and Bad Impacts of the Crypto Summit at the White House**
The Crypto Summit at the White House could be a critical moment for the crypto industry,
1. Clear and Positive Regulation
- Increased Investor Confidence: Transparent and pro-innovation regulations can attract institutional investments (banks, hedge funds) to the crypto market.
- Legitimization of Crypto Assets: Official recognition from the US government could reduce negative stigma and encourage mass adoption.
2. Consumer Protection
- Stricter security standards for crypto platforms
- More effective handling of fraud and scams.
3. Support for Blockchain Technology
- Allocation of research funds for blockchain development in the public sector (e.g., health, logistics, voting).
- Collaboration between the government and Web3 projects for innovative solutions.
4. Market Stimulus
- If there are signals of support, the prices of Bitcoin and altcoins may respond positively.
And what happened this time
1. Overly Strict Regulation
- Access Restrictions: Bans on foreign platforms, extreme KYC/AML, or trading restrictions for retail.
- High Taxes: Burdensome capital gains or transaction taxes could reduce investment interest.
2. Pressure on DeFi and Privacy
- Regulations may force DeFi projects to sacrifice decentralization (e.g., mandatory user identification).
- Privacy coins (Monero, Zcash) are at risk of being banned or restricted.
- US regulators announced a friendly regulatory framework, such as recognizing Bitcoin as a "digital commodity"
The market corrected 20–30%, liquidity dropped drastically.
1. Key Statements:
- The SEC's stance on Ethereum (whether it is considered a security or commodity).
2. Global Response:
- Whether the EU, Singapore, or other countries adjust their policies.
The Crypto Summit at the White House is a double-edged sword. If it produces balanced regulations, it could be a long-term catalyst for industry growth. However, repressive policies risk triggering market corrections and stifling innovation.
