Lumea s-a trezit cu o hartă geopolitică diferită pe 3 ianuarie 2026. Într-o operațiune militară pre-duminicală de înaltă tensiune, forțele americane au intrat în Caracas, au capturat președintele Nicolás Maduro și soția sa, Cilia Flores, și i-au transferat în New York pentru a fi judecați pentru acuzații de terorism narco.
⚖️ Acuzațiile oficiale
Departamentul de Justiție al SUA a dezvăluit un acuzator masiv. Maduro și mai mulți oficiali importanți sunt acuzați cu:
Conspirație de terorism narco: Legături suspecționate cu carteluri internaționale de droguri.

Un nou raport TD Cowen arată că Statele Unite intră în cel mai favorabil mediu politic pentru cripto din ultimii ani.
Principalele puncte de evidență:
• Președintele Trump este descris ca fiind „total dedicat” sectorului cripto
• O control mai rapid al reglementatorilor financiari ar putea accelera reformele favorabile cripto
• Anul 2026 este considerat o perioadă critică pentru consolidarea schimbărilor înainte de următorul ciclu electoral
📈 Analiticienii cred că acest mediu ar putea beneficia cripto, finanțele și imobiliarul, cu un impuls de dereglementare deja în curs.
⚠️ Ceasul ticăie — reformele trebuie să aibă loc repede pentru a fi durabile pe termen lung.

With internal opposition gone, US crypto regulation enters a new pro-industry phase

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has entered 2026 under an unprecedented political configuration, with all sitting commissioners now aligned with the Republican Party. The departure of Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw has removed the last internal critic of crypto-friendly policy, effectively clearing the path for continued regulatory momentum in digital assets.
Traditionally, the SEC operates as a bipartisan agency with five commissioners, ensuring representation from both major political parties. At present, however, two seats remain vacant, leaving three active commissioners, all Republicans. Legal scholars describe the situation as highly unusual, with few historical parallels among independent federal agencies.
The shift follows a broader policy realignment after President Donald Trump returned to office, alongside renewed congressional efforts to advance comprehensive crypto legislation. Key developments over the past year include the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and renewed focus on a federal crypto market structure framework, which is now heading toward Senate markup early in 2026.

Crenshaw had consistently voiced concerns over crypto markets, most notably dissenting from the SEC’s decision to approve spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024. Her unsuccessful renomination bid marked a turning point, signaling the diminishing influence of crypto-skeptical voices within the commission.
Despite the favorable political environment, the SEC remains bound by formal rulemaking procedures. Any regulatory changes must follow notice-and-comment processes under the Administrative Procedure Act, including public input and cost-benefit analysis. These constraints are expected to shape the pace and scope of reforms.

Beyond the SEC, other US regulatory bodies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, are also operating under Republican control. This consolidation of authority reflects a broader effort by the current administration to steer regulatory policy in line with its priorities.

Industry observers expect 2026 to bring clearer regulatory pathways for crypto firms, potentially including exemptions, refined custody rules, and more predictable enforcement standards. At the same time, critics warn that reduced political diversity within regulatory agencies could raise long-term governance concerns.

As crypto regulation evolves, the SEC’s all-Republican composition is likely to play a defining role in shaping how the United States approaches digital assets during a critical period of global adoption.
