Jito Foundation Announces Return to the US Market: Regulatory and Environmental Improvements as Key Turning Points

【CryptoWorld】Latest news shows that the non-profit organization Jito Foundation, which supports the Jito ecosystem, has recently announced that it will return to operate in the United States. This decision is driven by a clear improvement in the regulatory environment for the crypto market in the US.

Lucas Bruder, co-founder and CEO of Jito Labs, candidly admitted in an interview that the crypto industry has experienced “strict regulatory pressure” over the past period. The banking system’s attitude towards the sector has been extremely negative — not only refusing to provide basic services but also causing partners to withdraw. He said, “Every product decision we make has to contend with vague and constantly changing legal risks from regulators. These pressures are real but difficult to quantify.” For this reason, the Jito Foundation has been forced to conduct business overseas.

However, the situation is changing. Lucas pointed out that the passage of the GENIUS Stablecoin Act and the ongoing legislative efforts to structure the crypto market are creating a clearer regulatory framework for the industry. These policy signals indicate that the US is beginning to provide a predictable legal environment for the digital asset sector. Based on this judgment, the Jito Foundation has decided to adjust its strategy and re-establish roots in the US.

This case reflects a trend: the increasing friendliness of regulation is attracting crypto projects to reconsider their strategic position in the US market.

Relaxation of regulations is indeed the biggest driver of speculation. Holding onto chips and waiting for policy dividends to materialize, this wave truly has room for imagination.

Oh my, is Jito finally returning to the US? The regulatory environment has eased up quite quickly, it was really outrageous back then. I feel like passing the stablecoin bill is the key, finally showing some credibility. The attitude of those bank folks was unbelievable before, are they now going to be more humble? Haha

Oh my god, there's finally a breakthrough. The previous regulatory measures really pushed everyone to the limit. Wait, is it a good thing to return to the US now? Or should we still be cautious? Jito really bet right this time. After enduring overseas for so long.

Really? Is the US now starting to be friendly towards crypto? They were so aggressive before and now suddenly changing... I find it a bit hard to believe.

ngl the recipe was half-baked before but now the market's finally getting proper seasoning... jito coming back to the kitchen is lowkey bullish, that regulatory clarity hits different when it actually sticks

The easing of regulations is real, but will the banks change their stance so quickly? It's a bit uncertain.

Regulatory improvements can bring you back to the US? Let's first see if banks are willing to pay attention. Wait, is this really happening or are they just running away again? Lucas's words sound nice, but have the vague legal risks really disappeared? Jito's move this time is basically betting that regulations won't change again. If it were really that easy to return to the US, a bunch of projects would have already rushed back. It just feels like a signal is being sent, but the actual implementation still depends on subsequent developments.

Once regulation loosens, they immediately go back home. This time, they've really caught the wind of the trend.

The risk warning system is back again. Is this really different this time? Lucas makes a good point, but are banks really going to loosen up... It's hard to believe. The US is starting to show some friendliness again, but our reputation has long been damaged. Will the GENIUS Act really solve the problem once it's passed? I doubt it. Returning to the US = truly stable or just another round of trouble?
