The cryptocurrency market experienced a sell-off as investors became cautious of riskier assets, resulting in Bitcoin losing nearly 5% and ETH losing over 13% in the past week. However, amidst the market turmoil, optimism about the future of crypto regulation was expressed at the Blockchain Association's Policy Summit. Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith outlined expectations for regulatory priorities that lawmakers could focus on in 2025. Smith emphasized the need for fresh leadership in Congress and key regulatory agencies to shape cryptocurrency policy, with market structure legislation being a top priority. Additionally, there is growing discussion about a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the U.S. Treasury, which could strengthen Bitcoin's status as a rare and valuable asset. Despite recent market fluctuations, Smith remains optimistic about the future of the crypto sector and highlighted increasing interest from crypto companies in the US.
