During my time at Wells Fargo one of my responsibilities was to review policies and procedures related to electronic payments and credit risk, as well as recommend revisions as necessary to meet regulatory compliance
With the increased growth of the cyber landscape, it will be important to read and stay in tune with the moves of the SEC Chair, Gary Gensler. In April of this year he shared his view on Crypto.
To see his prepared remarks, you can go to this link https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/gensler-remarks-crypto-markets-040422?msclkid=2b638f40cfee11ec90532bccafef1168
In reviewing his comments you can tell two things
1.His is knowledgeable on how it works (he taught a crypto course at MIT)
2.That the industry needs to determine what DeFi regulations will do to their business costs both in compliance and peoplepower
Some of the big governments such as China are promoting CBDC as the new electronic version of the Yuan. There are some strong hints from the United States, that they too are considering using a CBDC as a replacement for the dollar
While the technology is exciting, it is difficult to assess what regulations will do to DeFi, the Metaverse, NFT's and Web3.
Regulating these various entities will prove challenging since their decentralization is the value add of what they do
