That being mentioned, it’s laborious to say this 12 months was something however a black mark for the business within the eyes of regulators. The collapse of Terra/Luna, the bankruptcies of mainly the whole crypto lender sector (minus Nexo, which nonetheless ended up leaving the U.S.), the meltdown of FTX (the biggest trade failure in years) – these are all occasions that may strain regulators worldwide. The Fb (now Meta)-led Libra (later Diem) undertaking and the worldwide backlash to it tells us how regulators might reply as nicely. It is probably not a fast response, however years after Fb first launched Libra, lawmakers from completely different nations developed stablecoin laws to rein within the sector. I believe we’ll see the same response in response to this 12 months’s occasions.
