That being stated, it’s arduous to say this yr was something however a black mark for the trade within the eyes of regulators. The collapse of Terra/Luna, the bankruptcies of principally the whole crypto lender sector (minus Nexo, which nonetheless ended up leaving the U.S.), the meltdown of FTX (the most important change failure in years) – these are all occasions that may strain regulators worldwide. The Facebook (now Meta)-led Libra (later Diem) venture and the worldwide backlash to it tells us how regulators might reply as properly. It will not be a fast response, however years after Facebook first launched Libra, lawmakers from completely different nations developed stablecoin laws to rein within the sector. I believe we’ll see an identical response in response to this yr’s occasions.
