White House reviewing potential removal of decades-old best execution rule for stock trades

This could fundamentally reshape how orders are routed and filled in traditional markets. If they kill best execution requirements, we're looking at potential massive changes to market structure.

Why this matters for crypto:

- Sets precedent for how execution quality is regulated

- Could influence how CEX/DEX order routing gets treated

- Traditional finance deregulation often bleeds into crypto policy

The best execution rule forces brokers to get you optimal pricing. Removing it? That's either a move toward more market freedom or opening the door to worse fills for retail. Probably both.

Watch how this plays out. Market structure changes in TradFi have historically preceded similar shifts in crypto infrastructure and regulation.
