Summary

Crypto regulation is a critical and evolving global topic. In the European Union, the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, adopted on April 20, 2023, became fully applicable in December 2024. MiCA aims to standardize virtual asset regulation across the EU, protect users and investors, and facilitate the adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technology. In the United States, the regulatory landscape is marked by debate and recent legislative efforts. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has been a vocal critic of the US approach, specifically lambasting SEC Chair Gary Gensler's 'regulation through litigation' strategy, which he argues stifles innovation and leads to many in the industry preferring CFTC oversight. Cuban also opposes Senator Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto stance. Recently, the US saw a 'Crypto Week' in 2025 where lawmakers advanced significant bills like the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and Anti-CBDC Act, with the GENIUS Act becoming the first comprehensive federal crypto legislation signed into law, reflecting a push for regulatory clarity and a shift in policy.
