Coinbase Chief Compliance Officer: Regulatory Clarity Driving Crypto Industry Toward Emerging Pillar of Global Financial Infrastructure

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/12/31 15:46:06

BlockBeats News, December 31st, Coinbase's Director of Investment Research, David Duong, posted an article stating, "Despite the recent somewhat subdued performance of cryptocurrency prices, this is still an extraordinary and transformative period for the crypto ecosystem. I believe that the core feature of this asset class is still the accelerating adoption by institutions, and a broader, more diverse investor base that is reshaping overall demand. In other words, the full potential of the crypto industry has yet to be fully unleashed.

One of the key factors driving the transformation of the crypto industry from a niche market to a emerging pillar of the global financial infrastructure is the evolving regulatory environment. As the global regulatory framework becomes increasingly clear, the United States is moving towards stablecoin regulation and market structure clarification, while Europe is advancing and integrating the MiCA regulation, fundamentally changing the way institutions strategize, manage risks, and comply.

The direct result is operationally readiness in the true sense: clearer policy guardrails for product innovation, market maturation, and the deep embedding of crypto rails into the payment and settlement system are creating tangible conditions. This is the cornerstone for building institutional adoption in the next phase."
