From Chaos to Clarity:
Understanding the Global Crypto Regulation Wave and Why It Matters for Business

What is driving global blockchain regulation today, and why does it matter more than ever?

Our webinar series gives you the big ideas, clear explanations, and practical guidance you need to navigate blockchain’s rapidly shifting regulatory landscape with confidence.

This session unpacked how global rules for digital assets are changing, why regulation has become a catalyst for adoption, and what enterprises, policymakers, and builders need to prepare for next.

We explored how leading frameworks including FATF, MiCA, and the OECD’s new reporting standards are reshaping compliance, market access, taxation, and digital trust. You will see how these shifts are influencing enterprise strategy, public policy, and the design of next generation blockchain systems.

This episode covered

  • The four forces shaping global crypto regulation: standard-setters, political momentum, competitive economics, and legal processes.
  • How MiCA, FATF recommendations, and the OECD CARF are defining the global playing field.
  • Why stablecoins, AML controls, and compliance automation are transforming enterprise requirements.
  • The rise of “compliance by design” for tokenised assets, payments infrastructure, and digital identity.
  • What these regulatory developments mean for your organisation as the world moves toward a 2026 reporting environment.
