The U.S. vs. The World: A Look at the Crypto Lobbying Machine
The battle for crypto regulation has shifted from blockchains to legislative halls and corporate boardrooms. Governments worldwide are grappling with how to oversee digital assets, with the U.S., Europe, and Asia adopting starkly different approaches.

Asian and Middle Eastern nations are taking measured steps, using regulation as both consumer protection and economic strategy. Behind the scenes, a growing network of lobbyists and policy advisors is quietly reshaping the global financial power structure through crypto governance.
