The regulatory landscape for crypto is being rewritten in real time. The GENIUS Act sets the first US federal framework for stablecoins with rules due by July. The CLARITY Act passed the House 294-134 and is advancing through the Senate, finally drawing clear lines between SEC and CFTC jurisdiction. In March, the SEC and CFTC jointly confirmed that staking is not a securities transaction. Meanwhile, the EU hits full MiCA enforcement on July 1, Japan opens its market to foreign stablecoins on June 1, and Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue to attract institutional capital with clear licensing frameworks. 2026 is the year crypto regulation goes from ambiguous to architected.
US, EU, and Asia-Pacific are implementing comprehensive crypto regulatory frameworks in 2026. Learn what changed and what it means for the market.

Cross-chain bridges move billions between blockchains every month, but they remain the most exploited infrastructure in crypto. Over $4 billion has been lost to bridge hacks since 2021, with the $292 million @KelpDAO exploit in April triggering a $13 billion DeFi TVL wipeout. How do bridges actually work? Lock-and-mint, burn-and-mint, multi-oracle verification, intent-based relayers. Each model handles security differently, and bridge selection is one of the most consequential decisions in crypto. Our latest research breaks down how bridges work, why they keep getting exploited, and how the industry is responding.
