The GENIUS Act marks a turning point for crypto regulation, but experts say true integration with finance and identity systems is only beginning.
The proclaimed Crypto Week has concluded with significant regulatory progress, including the passage of the much-anticipated GENIUS Act. However, industry experts claim the regulatory clarity is just the foundation for what lies ahead.
“Clarity is just a starting point, not an endpoint,” Leo Fan, co-founder of Cysic, told Cointelegraph. He pointed to the need for scalable blockchains, instant verification systems, and trusted custody for further integration.
Fan acknowledged that Crypto Week delivered “legal clarity,” with the GENIUS Act formally recognizing that not all crypto assets are securities. He called this a “foundational shift” that provides a “green light for developers, investors, and institutions to build and deploy with clearer legal guardrails.”
