U.S. Policy and Regulatory Update
summary
Quick U.S. regulatory rundown: Bitcoin ETF approval shifted capital and attention, courts now drive many decisions with a string of offensive suits against the SEC and other agencies, and the IRS proposal to make unhosted wallet providers report transactions threatens self custody. Industry response centers on convening and advocacy — the PGP monthly breakfast plus podcasts and a Global Encryption Day convening in the Congressional Visitor Center — with about 80 YouTube videos and 10k X views and a push to onboard users while preparing for worst‑case legal scenarios.
