Cryptocurrency Regulations Worldwide: The Key to Adoption & Reiteration of Crypto!
Cryptocurrencies have become one of the most valuable financial tools. They have the potential to contribute to a much more sustainable economic model compared to traditional monies.
From facilitating cross-border transactions to peer-to-peer operations, cryptocurrencies eliminate many financial barriers. However, the crypto markets are some of the most volatile and vulnerable spaces, prone to hacks, security breaches, and illicit finance. All these have halted growth and adoption.
While opinions can differ, it’s a fact that without regulation in play, crypto markets won’t survive for long. Safety is just one aspect that regulation can bring, and it’s time we take a closer look into the topic.
Regulation in Crypto: Paving a Safer Future for All
Regulation in crypto has always remained unwelcome because of a common misconception — it will bring centralization with it. But that is untrue.
Regulation and centralization are both different branches of the traditional world. Regulation refers to the laws defined by a country’s legal systems to assure user security and financial fair play.
The aftermath of an unregulated financial market, like crypto, can be as tragic as we have seen in the biggest scams and hacks of 2022. If embraced optimally with the proper regulation, crypto can transform the entire financial system for the greater good. TradFi institutions worldwide acknowledge this point while also suggesting that laws are integral to this whole process/space for sustainable growth.
A safer future for crypto can be built together, where regulators can fill the gaps in user security to prevent financial losses.
The convergence of TradFi to DeFi with regulation
The future of finance should be seen as a convergence of TradFi and DeFi, not a battle between the two. More than ever, the crypto space today needs new regulations that can secure the market and help in its sustainable expansion. Fortunately, various countries think this way and are rolling out their specific crypto regulatory guidelines.
Some early movers in creating new laws are the European Union, the US, China, Brazil, India, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and more. In particular, the EU Regulation has made significant steps in creating MiCA and the SEC with US crypto regulation. Astra’s partnership with KPMG is a powerful statement for the digital asset world, as now there is an innovative way for companies to implement the laws.
