A legal expert has warned that U.S. crypto regulation reforms may face significant delays, possibly until 2026 or beyond. Ongoing legal battles and lack of coordination between agencies like the SEC and CFTC are slowing progress. The absence of clear rules is creating uncertainty for investors and forcing some crypto companies to move abroad. Industry leaders say innovation is at risk without regulatory clarity. While some bills have been proposed, political gridlock and the upcoming elections make swift action unlikely. For now, experts recommend staying compliant and alert as the legal landscape continues to evolve.
