  • —The report covers 35 jurisdictions and was published on October 28, 2026
  • —Bitcoin, ether and sol are put at a combined market cap of roughly $3 trillion
  • —Nine policy areas include custody, AML, monetary sovereignty and sanctions
  • —The EU's MiCA and US stablecoin bills are cited as examples of progress
Why it matters: Regulators' shift toward tokenization and payment stablecoins will affect banks and fintechs as much as crypto-native firms.
