PANews reported on January 22 that, according to CoinDesk, PwC stated in its "Global Cryptocurrency Regulation Report" that cryptocurrency regulation will become clearer this year as legislation progresses from draft to law globally, and countries with more transparent cryptocurrency rules will lead the industry's development.

The report argues that the environment will be defined less by regulatory debates and more by the enforcement and competition among jurisdictions to attract capital and establish legitimacy. Increased cross-border collaboration aims to enhance market integrity, prevent financial crime, and protect investors. For crypto businesses, this means higher compliance costs, but also clearer rules, potentially leading to new products, banking access, and deeper institutional participation.
