In 2026, global crypto regulations will evolve significantly, impacting users in the US, UK, and APAC. The FDIC proposes a framework for banks to issue dollar-pegged stablecoins, while the Federal Reserve allows banks to engage in crypto activities. The US will likely pass the CLARITY Act, establishing comprehensive crypto regulations. The UK’s FCA will finalize crypto rules, including AML and KYC provisions. Hong Kong is advancing a stablecoin regulatory framework, while China's central government remains inconsistent on crypto policies, focusing on the digital yuan instead.
