Crypto’s long-standing regulatory fog is beginning to lift, raising a deeper question about what the industry actually becomes once clarity arrives. The team discusses a major sea change in regulation and institutional adoption, unpacking how new SEC and CFTC guidance is reshaping the institutional crypto landscape. We explore token classification, Hyperliquid’s S&P license, stablecoin adoption in emerging markets, and why brand, structure, and regulation may matter more than technology alone. Enjoy!
