The balance of power is shifting and not everyone is happy about it.
Major banks pushed hard to slow down crypto adoption, pouring millions into lobbying and behind-the-scenes pressure. It didn’t work.
Now, with momentum behind new regulation like the Clarity Act, traditional finance is being pulled into the space whether they like it or not. Firms like Coinbase stand to benefit as clearer rules open the door for wider participation.
Political backing is lining up too, with figures like Donald Trump signaling support, while institutional capital waits on the sidelines for certainty.
When resistance turns into frustration, it usually means the tide has already shifted.
