The United States thought they finally had the text capable of providing a regulatory framework for the crypto market. It is not the case.

The development of a regulatory framework for cryptos in the United States has just crossed a new threshold of tension, illustrating the extreme polarization between industry leaders and Washington policymakers. As Congress examines the market structures essential to the sector's sustainability, national security takes center stage in constitutional debates, turning a technical bill into a true ideological battlefield. The direct confrontation between the exchange platform Coinbase and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren highlights the urgency of legislative clarification, but mainly reveals diametrically opposed visions on how to protect the American financial system.

MiCA was supposed to secure European crypto. It may instead accelerate a new movement, that of capital towards decentralized finance.

This confrontation could permanently reshape the balances of the global crypto market.

By unveiling the behind-the-scenes of a fragmented reality, the industry giant exposes a paradox. While the European Union shows unprecedented severity, several regulators are quietly courting the exchange behind the scenes. This issue raises questions about the effectiveness of continental legal barriers against mobile capital. Such a tug-of-war marks a major geopolitical turning point.

The application of the new European tax rules on cryptocurrencies is already causing disputes in France. The non-custodial exchange platform Bull Bitcoin has initiated proceedings before the Council of State to request the annulment of the French decree implementing the DAC8 directive.

According to it, the consequences would far exceed the tax framework and could affect nearly 135 million Bitcoin holders in Europe.
