Crypto regulation is at an inflection point in the U.S. as companies complain about the lack of clear guidelines.

And major financial regulators are meeting behind closed doors to decide how to deal with stablecoins.
Brian Brooks, a former top regulator himself and former Coinbase general counsel, suggests we’re approaching it all wrong, like we’re asking the kid selling lemonade to the neighbors to get a health permit. „It’s a weird question: 'Hey, you’re doing something. Show me what regulation you’re complying with.”
