From regulatory policies to institutional entry: Three signals for the crypto industry in 2026

2025-12-24 16:00:10

[Crypto World] 2026 might really be a watershed year. Former CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham recently shared her approach to regulatory work and announced she will join MoonPay. This shift itself sends a signal — insiders are voting with their feet.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are also busy. The (PARITY Act) is advancing, with a clear core goal: to close the tax loophole of “wash sales,” but more importantly, to greenlight staking, mining, and small-scale stablecoin transactions, offering tangible tax incentives. What does this indicate? It shows that policymakers are beginning to recognize the legitimacy of these activities.

New CFTC Chair Michael Selig has been sworn in, JPMorgan is exploring crypto trading services aimed at institutional investors, and Arizona is pushing forward with digital asset tax reforms. These actions may seem independent, but they point in the same direction — traditional finance and policy frameworks are making room for digital assets. This is not hype; it’s a structural shift.

Laughing to death, regulators are starting to vote with their feet. Now it's really time for us retail investors to run away on foot. --- Wait, are staking and mining all greenlit? JPMorgan Chase is also here? Is this hinting that I should leverage more? Thanks for the reminder. --- Brother Fan stepping into MoonPay with a single foot, this signal is louder than the CFTC Chair's oath, everyone in the circle can smell it. --- The moment rationality is acknowledged, it's the start of a new cycle of cutting leeks. I bet five bucks. --- The PARITY Act closes wash trading loopholes and opens the green light for staking... This guy is drafting the 2026 bull market. --- People in the circle vote with their feet, we cut meat with our feet. Fate is truly ironic.

Regulatory easing for staking and mining, now institutions are really coming in --- Sister Fan's quick turnaround is louder than any statement, everyone in the circle understands --- The parity bill's move is quite fierce, directly granting legal status? --- JPMorgan Chase can't sit still anymore, 2026 will indeed be different --- The US is really starting to get serious, tax cuts are a brilliant move --- From plugging loopholes to opening green lights, the turnaround is quite fast, everyone --- Arizona taking this step, can other states stay put? --- The new CFTC chairman's move is just the beginning, there are more to come --- Staking and mining are finally going to be rationalized, we've waited too long for this day --- The night before institutional entry feels a bit intense

Fan's move to jump to MoonPay is really bold, it shows what the smart people in the circle have seen The PARITY Act this move is brilliant, tax exemptions are directly exposed, and policy-level recognition of staking mining is beginning—no more pretending, right? Is JPMorgan really coming? This time it feels different

During a typical policy window period, the big players are all rushing to enter the market. Sister Fan's move to join MoonPay is more convincing than any statement. Is it true that JPMorgan is planning to develop institutional-grade crypto trading? Now that's a big deal, the recognition from traditional finance has completely changed. Wait, is the PARITY Act aiming to close the wash sale loophole? Then the previous arbitrage logic will have to be revised... Staking and mining tax cuts are clearly supporting specific sectors. Arizona moved so quickly; will other states follow suit? It's obvious once you see it, this wave is truly different. But on the other hand, doing regulation and market entry simultaneously—will it lead to initial excitement followed by regret... 2026 could really be a turning point, but it also feels full of pitfalls.
