About This Webinar
This quarter marked a turning point in how governments approach digital assets — not just as a regulatory challenge, but as a core national security, market integrity, and global leadership priority. Across the US, UK, EU, and APAC, policymakers are moving quickly to modernize frameworks, clarify priorities, and address illicit finance risks head-on.

Join TRM’s policy experts — Ari Redbord, Angela Ang, and Isabella Chase — as they unpack the most significant crypto policy shifts of Q2 2025 and what they mean for the industry.

You’ll gain insights into:
• The DOJ’s strategic pivot toward targeting illicit actors, not innovation
• New momentum behind the GENIUS Act and what’s next for a US market structure bill
• MiCA implementation and EU efforts to operationalize crypto oversight
•The UK’s advancing regulatory regime, including new FCA guidance and cross-government alignment
• APAC’s growing push for guardrails on stablecoins, cross-border flows, and exchange governance
