PwC: Cryptocurrency regulation will shift from debate to enforcement this year

According to CoinDesk, PwC stated in its "Global Cryptocurrency Regulatory Report" that as legislation progresses from draft to law worldwide, cryptocurrency regulation will become clearer this year, and countries with more transparent cryptocurrency rules will lead the industry's development.

The report suggests that the environment will be less defined by regulatory debates and more shaped by jurisdictions competing to attract capital and establish legitimacy. The trend of cross-border collaboration is strengthening, aimed at enhancing market integrity, preventing financial crime, and protecting investors. For cryptocurrency businesses, this means higher compliance costs, but it will also bring clearer rules, potentially fostering new products, banking channels, and deeper institutional participation.
