Crypto.com Plants Flag in D.C. Amid U.S. Regulatory Thunderdome
Crypto.com just doubled down on its U.S. ambitions—opening a Washington D.C. office while legacy finance still argues about what ’blockchain’ means. The move screams regulatory chess, not checkers.
Why D.C.? Lobbying 101: When regulators come knocking, it helps to answer the door with a zip code in their backyard. Smart play—or desperate hedging—as the SEC keeps playing whack-a-mole with crypto firms.
Wall Street’s watching through monocles, muttering about ’unsecured assets’ between sips of $28 artisanal coffee. Meanwhile, Crypto.com’s betting that real adoption starts with a seat at the table—not begging for scraps under it.
