2025 is the year of the strongest "politicization" of the crypto market to date.

From the US, Europe to Asia, new policies and rules are determining the flow of money, trust, and the future of the entire market.

🇺🇸 US: from "war" to legalization

- The Trump administration is pushing for a more crypto-friendly legal framework, supporting ETFs and digital assets entering the traditional financial system.

- The SEC and federal agencies are paving the way for many new crypto ETFs, shortening approval times and creating additional legal investment channels for institutional investors.

🇪🇺 EU and MiCA: a "common playing field" for the bloc

- From the end of 2024, MiCA officially comes into effect, for the first time creating a unified legal framework for crypto across the EU.

- Exchanges, wallets, and token issuers are required to apply for licenses, make whitepapers transparent, and strictly comply with KYC/AML, in return gaining the ability to operate legally across Europe.

🌏 Asia & Vietnam: tightening, opening, and experimenting

- Many Asian countries like Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong are gradually clarifying the rules: tightening AML while supporting sandboxes, stablecoins, and asset tokenization.

- Vietnam has been noted for issuing laws defining digital assets, preparing to grant licenses and pilot crypto services, initially transitioning from a "gray area" to official management.

💡 Implications for investors

- Political and legal factors are now mandatory "on-chain" factors that must be analyzed, on par with technical and on-chain data.
