Many thanks for an insightful article, I drew massive inspiration from it when writing my master's dissertation on "Blockchain innovation versus regulation in Europe" - quoted three or four of your publications, those from SLS blogs and this one

Great article, thanks for all your work.

One remark though. I think this should be the other way around? :)

".. if this regulation was being discussed and negotiated today instead of a year ago, believe me, we would be in a whole different situation."

Great article, but I think regulation should be done very carefully. You mention also the collapse of FTX last year. But this was a clear fraud under the eyes of the SEC. And to remember the banking collapse of Lehman Brothers, it shows that scammers are always find its way to harm. These where criminal activities. Regulations should be build clear and uncomplicated frameworks to foster new technology in the first place.
