Crypto regulation enters a crucial phase. The dry, long perceived as an inflexible bulwark, orchestrates a series of four round tables between April and June. Trading, asset guard, tokenization and deffi: these key themes draw an unprecedented roadmap. Behind this initiative, a strategic turn is looming, marked by the crumbling of the doctrine people. Decryption.
From a showdown to a tactical dialogue
Under the Trump era, Gary Gensler, then president of the dry, had erected the crypto as a public enemy. Rejections of ETFs, pursuits in gusts against Binance or Coinbase … a cold war.
But since January, the agency has been moving. Mark Uyeda, interim president, discreetly buried controversial rules.
Symbolic example: the abandonment of reinforced standards of asset custody, deemed stifling for investment advisers.
This inflection is no coincidence. The Crypto Task Force, launched in January, embodies this new philosophy: to build rather than forcing.
The first round table, March 21, planted the decor by questioning the very definition of security. A founding debate, far from past anathemas. Hester Peirce, Pro-Crypto Commissioner, sums up the mind: listening to experts to shape suitable rules.
However, caution. If the dry softens her tone, she does not capitulate. The agency maintains increased vigilance on stablecoins and unregistered platforms.
The withdrawal of bitnomial in its dispute against the dry, at the end of March, recalls that the regulator keeps the tense muscles. A delicate balance between opening and control.
Four sites to reinvent the crypto ecosystem
Let's move on to round tables. Each chosen theme reflects burning issues. On April 11, trading will open the ball.
At the heart of the debates: how to adapt the rules of transparency and liquidity without stifling innovation? Krach FTX lessons hover: secure markets while preserving their agility.
On April 25, asset custody will take over. A thorny subject, as the flaws (hacks, fraud) fuel the distrust of the institutional. Would the dry seek to standardize practices? Possible. But crypto actors will undoubtedly defend hybrid models, combining safety and accessibility.
Tokenization and Defi will close the debates. On May 12, the tokenization of real assets could seal marriage between traditional finance and blockchain. Real estate, bonds … The opportunities are colossal, but the legal risks too.
Finally, on June 6, the DEFI will face its regulatory destiny. How to supervise protocols without central entity? A puzzle that could lead to a tailor-made frame.
While the dry multiplies the round tables to redraw the future of Crypto regulation, Ripple takes a step back by abandoning his counter-appeal against the regulator. In exchange, the company recovers $ 75 million, thus putting an end to an emblematic legal battle.
