#CryptoRegulation

As of 2025, crypto regulations are becoming stricter globally. The U.S. has banned CBDC issuance via Executive Order 14178 and is working on a unified federal framework. The EU's MiCA law is now active, requiring licenses and strict AML/KYC for crypto services. Japan regulates exchanges under FSA, while China maintains a full crypto ban. In BTC futures, London launched GFO-X—the first regulated derivatives exchange—and Coinbase acquired Deribit for $2.9B to dominate crypto derivatives. CFTC oversees U.S. crypto futures. These developments aim to ensure safer, more transparent trading while tightening compliance standards for exchanges and investors alike.
