Potential Changes in Crypto Regulation
The U.S. crypto landscape may undergo significant shifts following the recent electoral changes, particularly in light of President-elect Donald Trump's critical stance towards SEC Chair Gary Gensler. As enthusiasm around cryptocurrency surged, with Bitcoin reaching over $90,000, there’s speculation about the repeal of restrictive regulations that currently hinder innovation. Many are optimistic about a bipartisan push for clearer regulatory guidelines that could help establish a solid framework for cryptocurrency operations, moving away from a regulation-by-enforcement approach. This anticipated clarity may bolster participation from major financial institutions, such as HSBC, in custodying cryptocurrencies in compliance with federal laws.
