Analyst: 2025 to Mark a Cryptocurrency Policy Inflection Point, Regulatory Clarity to Drive Institutional Adoption

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/12/24 01:16:08

BlockBeats News, December 24th, according to crowdfundinsider, TRM Labs' Policy Team Ari Redbord and Angela Ang, together with TRM's EMEA Regulatory Advisor Luke Dufour, reviewed the most important global crypto policy matters of Q4 2025 and examined crypto policy developments in 30 jurisdictions, revealing several key trends:

· Stablecoins dominated the policy agenda, with over 70% of jurisdictions advancing stablecoin regulation in 2025.

· Clearer regulations have paved the way for institutional adoption, with about 80% of jurisdictions' financial institutions announcing new digital asset initiatives.

· The impact of regulation on illicit finance remains evident. TRM's analysis found that Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), as the most heavily regulated part of the crypto ecosystem, have a significantly lower illicit activity rate than the overall ecosystem.

TRM Labs pointed out that 2025 was the "watershed year for U.S. crypto policy," while at the same time, the fourth quarter reinforced the momentum of crypto policy, no longer just being about bills advancing in Congress. Instead, regulatory agencies are increasingly "leveraging guidance, supervision, and enforcement to achieve policy objectives."
