Crypto-regulation is a hot topic for crypto investors and crypto entrepreneurs. There are many crypto regulatory changes on the horizon for 2022, which could significantly impact crypto users of the world.
However, crypto regulation will only affect crypto users within the country that implements it. Some of these crypto regulatory changes include stricter KYC/AML policies for crypto exchanges, new laws related to ICOs and token sales, and anti-money laundering legislation. In this post we'll explore some of these developments in more detail!
How crypto users will be impacted by these changes?
Bitcoin was designed to function without any central authority or banks; it is completely digital, and crypto users are in control of their funds. However, crypto users will soon be subject to legislation that makes crypto usage more like using fiat currencies.
The crypto regulatory changes for 2022 will likely not only require crypto users to undergo KYC/AML vetting when opening an account with an exchange, but also follow other global crypto regulations, such as anti-money laundering legislation. This means that crypto assets may become more difficult for crypto users to use anonymously.
Users who pursue crypto because they desire anonymity should be aware that these regulatory changes may impact their ability to use crypto anonymously in the future.
Another impact might be on ICOs and token sales- regulators could determine that they need stricter rules about what kinds of tokens can be sold or require higher disclosure standards for investors. Finally, anti-money laundering legislation could mean cryptocurrency wallets must implement monitoring tools such as transaction limits and know your customer verification requirements for crypto transactions.
The future of crypto and what it means for you as a user or investor
Many crypto experts believe crypto will become more regulated in 2022. Operators of crypto-related services are anticipating stricter KYC/AML policies for crypto exchanges, new laws related to ICOs and token sales, and anti-money laundering legislation. This has the potential to have a significant impact on crypto users of the world.
Crypto regulation is constantly evolving, and in 2022, we can expect to see even more crypto-related regulatory changes. One thing is for sure: crypto is still unregulated by most countries internationally, meaning that crypto regulation will only affect crypto users within the country that implements it.
As crypto regulation is becoming more common around the world, crypto users are being impacted in various ways. It’s unclear how this might work exactly, although seems likely there will soon come a time when all cryptocurrencies will become regulated by law no matter where you live.

While I expect to see some attempts at regulation, I think it will be different to regulate, in fact it was designed to be difficult to regulate.
Going to be very interesting to watch it play out, for sure.

I agree - crypto regulation is not something that is easily done. It's anarchist by nature and the low barrier to entry ironically makes it hard for regulation to pass

I believe before many countries will regularise crypto currency, there will be a rules that will be guilding the transaction.

Governments have tried to regulate Cryptos and failed.
Just as they cannot regulate offshore banking which suits their purposes.
They may regulate some exchanges but the p2p aspects of crypto means it is impossible to regulate. 👍
p2p is great. I also think multi-chain DEXes are the future
