Investor Strategies for a Shifting Landscape

This uncertainty is creating opportunity as well as risk, as traditional financial (TradFi) institutions ramp up their entry into digital assets. TradFi firm’s sophisticated regulatory strategies, honed over decades of navigating complex compliance environments, are better positioned than smaller crypto-native companies. As major players launch products like Bitcoin ETFs and tokenized funds, innovators without regulatory expertise may be squeezed out unless they adapt to emerging frameworks such as those proposed by the Stablecoin Standard, which offers voluntary requirements for transparency, operational resilience, and reserve-backing. This model could offer a path for other innovators to meet compliance expectations and accelerate growth and adoption.
