PwC Report Highlights Regulatory Shift in Crypto as Fintech and Traditional Banks Prepare for Competition
Global cryptocurrency regulation is transitioning from theoretical frameworks to enforceable laws, according to PwC's latest Global Crypto Regulation Report. The shift signals a maturing market where jurisdictions with transparent rules will gain competitive advantage.
By 2026, regulatory focus will pivot from policy debates to execution, with nations competing for capital inflows and market legitimacy. Cross-border coordination is intensifying among regulators seeking to enhance market integrity, combat financial crime, and safeguard investors.
"Regulatory collaboration is accelerating institutional crypto adoption," said Matt Blumenfeld, PwC's global digital assets lead. "What was once a constraint is now market architecture - enabling responsible scaling of digital assets while fostering SAFE innovation."
