Here's a brief overview of the key areas and trends in crypto regulation:

Consumer protection: Prevent scams, frauds, and misleading practices.

Anti-money laundering (AML) & combating the financing of terrorism (CFT): Ensure crypto platforms follow rules similar to banks, like verifying user identities (KYC).

Market integrity: Regulate crypto exchanges to avoid price manipulation and insider trading.

Asia:

Japan: Has strict but clear regulations with licenses for exchanges.

China: Banned crypto trading and mining.
