The conversation delves into the shifting regulatory dynamics under the Trump administration, comparing it to the previous Biden administration’s slower, report-driven approach. Wong cautions that while the current administration appears more open to crypto, its regulatory efforts may favor a select group of industry players, creating barriers rather than fostering true democratization.
Further, Wong examines systemic risks, market volatility, and fraud in digital assets, explaining how financial firms can navigate regulatory uncertainty. She predicts that regulators will prioritize oversight where they have the most data, focusing on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum while monitoring broader market risks.
The episode offers insightful perspectives on the evolving regulatory climate, the role of financial institutions, and the future of digital asset governance, making it a must-listen for professionals navigating the intersection of finance, law, and technology.
