The cryptocurrency industry in the US is actively pushing for well-defined regulatory frameworks, shifting from legitimacy battles to detailed rule-making as of early 2026. Key discussions center on stablecoins, with banks concerned about deposit stability and the industry emphasizing global competitiveness. The administration held meetings in February, aiming for resolution by March 1st, while legislative progress on measures like the _Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act_ remains hampered by partisan divides. The OCC is extending banking charters to crypto firms, facing potential legal challenges from established banking groups like the Bank Policy Institute who fear weakened oversight. Meanwhile, legal battles continue: Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, faces a potential retrial despite a recent Treasury report acknowledging legitimate uses for crypto mixers. The CFTC, under Chairman Selig, is attempting to establish a federal framework for prediction markets, asserting jurisdiction over states. Ethereum developers are debating native account abstraction, with Vitalik Buterin supporting 'Frame Transactions' for enhanced privacy. Thailand has frozen over 10,000 crypto accounts linked to money laundering, highlighting ongoing global efforts to combat illicit activity.
