Hey everyone,

I wanted to share some thoughts on what’s been happening lately in our crypto community. It seems that the traditional, regulated financial system is increasingly trying to impose its influence on our space. Here’s why I believe that’s happening—and why the crypto market itself poses a challenge to the old financial order:

1. The Traditional System’s Fear of Disruption

The established financial system has long relied on centralized control and strict regulatory oversight. Cryptocurrencies, with their decentralized and borderless nature, represent a fundamental shift away from that model. Because crypto challenges their power and the status quo, traditional financial institutions and regulators are keen to step in. They’re pushing for rules and oversight that could, in effect, slow down innovation and maintain control over the flow of capital.

2. Imposing Outdated Frameworks

Many of these regulations are designed for a world that no longer exists—a world where financial transactions were handled by centralized banks and intermediaries. By trying to force these outdated regulatory frameworks onto the crypto market, the regulated market is effectively attempting to “tame” the disruptive potential of crypto.

3. Shifting Responsibility

There’s also a strategic element at play. By imposing stricter rules, regulators and traditional players can shift some of the operational risks—and the responsibility for compliance—onto crypto businesses and, indirectly, onto the community itself.

4. Crypto as a Risk to the Old Order

At its core, the crypto market represents a risk for the traditional financial system. It offers:

• Financial Freedom.

• Transparency and Efficiency.

• Innovation.

These are powerful forces that threaten the entrenched interests of the regulated market. It’s no surprise they’re pushing back hard.

In Summary:

The traditional regulated market is trying to exert its influence over the crypto space because it sees decentralized innovation as a direct threat to its power and profit models.
