His vision, rooted in a centralized approach to finance, suggests a restrictive policy towards cryptos. As Canada continues to seek its regulatory guidelines for these assets, Carney's appointment could represent a radical shift. His influence on the future of bitcoin and cryptos in Canada deserves close scrutiny.

813,000 washed-out investors, a memecoin that evaporates, 100 million in the pockets of insiders. The SEC looks the other way, Trump smiles: welcome to the Wild West of crypto!
Legal battles between the SEC and crypto platforms have become commonplace, but a 60-day pause in the Binance case surprises observers. In a climate of rising tension around crypto regulation, this joint decision marks a strategic shift.

A key step has been taken in the regulation of the crypto market in the United States. Under the leadership of Mark Uyeda, acting chair, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the creation of a Crypto Task Force, an entity responsible for providing more clarity to the rules governing cryptocurrencies. To structure its actions, the SEC has launched a dedicated website that offers companies and investors a space to submit their proposals and better understand regulatory requirements. This initiative comes as the crypto sector calls for clear guidelines and as the SEC faces off against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over the issue of jurisdiction for cryptocurrencies. In addition to defining the boundary between securities and unregulated assets, this task force could shape the future of crypto ETFs and influence the oversight of trading platforms. However, its real impact will depend on its ability to establish a constructive dialogue with the industry, an approach that is still lacking in the SEC's current policy.
