PwC's "Global Cryptocurrency Regulation Report" forecasts a significant shift in cryptocurrency regulation from debate to enforcement in 2026. As legislation transitions from draft to law worldwide, jurisdictions with transparent rules are expected to spearhead industry development. The report highlights increased cross-border collaboration aimed at enhancing market integrity, preventing financial crime, and protecting investors. This regulatory clarity may lead to higher compliance costs for crypto businesses but also opens opportunities for new products, banking access, and greater institutional involvement.
