+Added: On January 23, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order titled, Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology.
+Added: While the executive order did not mandate the adoption of any specific regulations, the executive order identifies certain key objectives to guide agencies involved in crypto regulation, including (i) protecting the sovereignty of the United States dollar by promoting the development of United States dollar-backed stablecoins, (ii) providing regulatory clarity and certainty built on technology-neutral regulations for individuals and firms involved in digital assets, including through well-defined jurisdictional regulatory boundaries, and (iii) taking measures to protect Americans from the risks of Central Bank Digital Currencies.
+Added: To achieve these objectives, the executive order established a working group on digital asset markets within the National Economic Council, comprised of representatives from key federal agencies, with a tight timeline for examining existing regulations and proposing a new regulatory framework.
+Added: This working group released a report on July 30, 2025 that recommended regulatory and legislative proposals to advance the policies established in the executive order.
+Added: The SEC also established a Crypto Task Force in furtherance of these objectives.
+Added: Among other things, the Crypto Task Force is charged with helping to draw clear regulatory lines and to appropriately distinguish securities from non-securities.

+Added: On May 29, 2025, the U.S.
+Added: House of Representatives introduced H.R.
+Added: 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (the “CLARITY Act”), which passed the House on July 17, 2025 and is currently pending review by the U.S.
+Added: If enacted as proposed, the CLARITY Act would classify bitcoin and certain other digital assets as “digital commodities” and expand the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) over such assets.
+Added: As a result, certain activities involving bitcoin, including trading, custody, advisory, or fundraising transactions, could become subject to new compliance obligations under the Commodity Exchange Act.
+Added: Depending on the manner in which the legislation is implemented and interpreted, entities such as ours could be required to register as a commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, or otherwise comply with CFTC regulations applicable to market participants in digital commodities.
+Added: In July 2025, the U.S.
+Added: Congress enacted the Global Economic Navigation and Income Utilization Security Act (the “GENIUS Act”), establishing a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins.
+Added: The act recognizes qualified stablecoins as permitted payment instruments provided they maintain 1:1 reserves in liquid assets and adhere to monthly public disclosure requirements.
+Added: In early 2025, the SEC rescinded Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
+Added: 121 (“SAB 121”), which previously required certain entities to record digital assets held for others as liabilities on their balance sheets.
+Added: The SEC subsequently issued SAB 122, providing revised guidance for institutional digital asset custody and financial reporting.

+Added: Beginning in the 2025 tax year, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) requires the reporting of gross proceeds from digital asset transactions on Form 1099-DA.

+Added: In 2025, the European Union reached full implementation of the Markets in Crypto Assets (“MiCA”) regulation.
+Added: Additionally, in August 2025, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority implemented a formal regulatory regime for stablecoin issuers, mandating localized presence and specific reserve management standards.
+Added: Effective August 1, 2025, Hong Kong implemented a formal licensing and regulatory regime for fiat-referenced stablecoin issuers under the Stablecoins Ordinance, administered by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), which requires issuers to be locally incorporated (or authorized institutions with a principal place of business in Hong Kong) and mandates full reserve backing with high-quality, segregated liquid assets.
+Added: On March 17, 2026, the SEC and CFTC jointly issued a landmark interpretive release (Release Nos.
+Added: 34-105020) clarifying how federal securities laws apply to crypto assets and providing a coherent token taxonomy classifying digital assets into categories including digital commodities, digital securities, stablecoins, digital collectibles, and digital tools.
+Added: The release classifies Bitcoin as a digital commodity subject to CFTC jurisdiction rather than SEC securities regulation, and clarifies that mining, staking, wrapping, and airdrops do not constitute securities transactions.
+Added: The guidance supersedes all prior SEC staff statements on these topics and applies prospectively.
+Added: While this guidance represents a significant step toward regulatory clarity for Bitcoin holders such as the Company, it is an interpretation rather than permanent law, and the CLARITY Act must still be enacted by Congress to codify these classifications into statute.
