#CryptoRegulation
Crypto regulation is undergoing significant transformations globally in 2025. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is shifting towards a more structured approach, with Chair Paul Atkins proposing clear guidelines for crypto tokens, moving away from the previous enforcement-centric model . Simultaneously, the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) aims to delineate regulatory responsibilities between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) .
In Europe, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, effective since December 2024, establishes a comprehensive framework for crypto assets, though some firms express concerns over its stringent requirements . The UK is preparing its own regulatory framework, focusing on areas like stablecoins and staking services .
Emerging markets are also advancing their regulatory landscapes. Turkey has introduced comprehensive regulations for crypto asset service providers, including capital requirements and AML measures . Indonesia has transitioned crypto oversight to its Financial Services Authority and Central Bank, aiming for enhanced transparency and security .
These developments reflect a global trend towards clearer and more structured crypto regulations, balancing innovation with investor protection.
