The direction of U.S. cryptocurrency policy has always been a global market indicator. The CEO of a leading retail trading platform recently publicly stated that the United States should take on more leadership responsibility in policy-making in the crypto space rather than passively following.

His core point is straightforward: through market structure-related legislation, we need to strengthen consumer protection to prevent risk spillover, while also leaving enough room for innovation. This is not about laissez-faire, but about finding a balance between regulation and development.

Although pushing such legislation faces many obstacles in reality, this trading platform continues to make efforts. From an industry perspective, this reflects the desire of leading institutions for a regulated market environment—a clear and transparent regulatory framework that can attract more institutions and mainstream capital into the crypto market. The healthy interaction between policy and market ultimately benefits the long-term development of the entire industry.

Can't lift it up. Can the US really show proactive leadership? To put it nicely, it's about finding a balance; frankly, it's still about wanting both. They're bleeding everyone dry and still want a transparent framework—laughable. This CEO has a good idea, but the resistance side just won't budge. Institutions have waited so long; they've probably already jumped on board.

Basically, it's just about wanting policy benefits. Regardless of whether you're innovative or not, prioritize protecting your exchange's interests first.

I have experienced this set of rhetoric before, and in 2018 it was the same story. What was the result? Now it's happening again. Do they really think we have a short memory? Wait, if there truly were a clear regulatory framework someday, how would those gray-area projects survive? Is it good news or bad news? It's hard to say. They're starting to make big promises again. CEOs are best at this. They sound good claiming risk prevention, but in reality, they just want to raise more money under the guise of compliance. This platform is getting anxious. What they should be afraid of are those new exchanges growing wildly and抢份额, packaging themselves as policy advocates sounds more sophisticated. Consumer protection, huh? I've seen too many cases of project teams跑路. Does having a framework really work? The true balance point was already calibrated during the bear market. Now that the bull market is back, they’re pulling the same tricks again. Don’t fool yourself.

Sounds nice, but isn't it just about wanting regulatory benefits... Big institutions all follow the same playbook.

That's right, a clear regulatory framework actually makes it easier to attract large capital inflows. There's no flaw in this logic. If the US truly takes the lead in setting rules, retail investors like us will be the biggest winners. Another bunch of "balance" rhetoric, but the key is to see what the actual passing legislation looks like. Leading platforms promoting standardization basically want to establish their own authority, but good luck with that. It sounds nice, but who can guarantee that politicians truly understand the technical details of crypto... This CEO is truly visionary, much more reliable than those platforms that only want to harvest profits. Regulating the market can indeed reduce risks, but what if the space for innovation gets squeezed? It's a matter of balancing priorities. It should have been like this long ago; transparent regulation is beneficial for the long-term development of the ecosystem.

actually, if you run a basic regression analysis on regulatory frameworks vs. institutional adoption rates, the correlation is statistically significant but the causality claim here is kinda hand-wavy. the ceo's framing conveniently ignores endogenous factors affecting market structure, ngl.

Basically, it's still about wanting regulatory dividends. When top platforms do this, they end up trapping small players. Everyone wants "good" regulation, but the question is, who defines what is good... Policy friendliness = a pass to cut leeks? I just can't understand it more and more. If the US could really come up with a balanced bill, the crypto world wouldn't be like this already, haha. Mainstream capital has entered, do retail investors still have a way out? Isn't this logic just big institutions setting standards, and everyone else has to bow down? Why should we have to listen to the big platforms? Isn't decentralized autonomy more appealing?
