Changes in U.S. Regulation Are Simplifying the Growth of Web3 Business

With regulatory changes gaining traction and Washington warming to digital assets, the U.S. is quickly reclaiming its place at the forefront of blockchain development. Story by OKX The United States has witnessed a remarkable revamp of its crypto industry in the past six months to become a fertile ground for innovation, startup growth, capital formation, and a founder's paradise. Read on to explore how regulatory changes are simplifying the growth of Web3 businesses. What's Fueling Business Growth? Various bills and acts have cleared the House, the majority of which are aimed at improving the regulation of virtual assets. One of those bills proposes a structured division of oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which hopes to build stronger clarity between startups and investors. In essence, this will streamline the process of achieving compliance while still innovating. Thanks to this, many founders and high-profile ventures who left the U.S. market are slowly returning. One of those, OKX, is relaunching in the U.S., while others like Deribit and Crossover Markets have already announced plans to set up operations in the country. The Best Time for Crypto Businesses to Thrive Seed rounds for Web3 infrastructure, AI-integrated blockchain platforms, RWAs, and tokenized finance startups are closing faster and becoming often oversubscribed. Insights suggest that blockchain-based startups raised $4.8 billion in Q1 2025, which is the highest amount since late 2022. The thaw is real, and investors are taking notice. The current administration has taken steps to refine policies for digital assets while implementing regulatory changes to how the federal government views the cryptocurrency sector. Moreover, the administration is engaging with digital asset firms and fintech leaders by opening communication lines with major players in the space, aiming to craft a national crypto strategy that is pro-business and globally competitive. The Ripple Effect New policies are expanding the definition of "dealers" to include certain DeFi participants. This time, regulation will come with dialogue. Recent testimony from SEC and CFTC leadership before Congress suggested a willingness to work within the scope of recently passed and upcoming bills, signaling a more cooperative stance. This has done the impossible quickly, translating into tangible ecosystem growth. The trend is consistent: founders are building, funds are deploying, and regulators are increasingly watching with open (not closed) eyes. The pivot is not without its critics. Some privacy advocates worry that regulation will compromise the ethos of decentralization. Others believe the sudden friendliness could evaporate with a single lawsuit or political scandal. But these voices acknowledge that, for now, the industry is experiencing renewed activity compared to levels observed prior to the Terra and FTX events. One exciting dimension of this resurgence is how it ties back to policy. The crypto sector is no longer a fringe issue and is slowly becoming embedded in national economic discussions, where policymakers now treat it accordingly. State governments across Nevada, California, Florida, and Colorado, among others, are experimenting with Web3 pilot programs that serve different sectors, ranging from land title registries to municipal stablecoins. The Return of Talent The United States has spoken of a 'crypto brain drain' for years as engineers, founders, and legal experts fled the U.S. for more welcoming environments. However, that trend has already reversed. Some of the biggest names in blockchain have announced U.S. headquarters, expansions, or relaunches in recent weeks. The crypto economy is returning—not just in capital, but in talent and infrastructure. Final Take The months coming are more critical too than the previous ones; the sector still expects the Senate to pass some more key legislation, and at the same time provide room for oversight authorities to be predictable. It's an important time in the history of crypto, a time when innovation is thriving across decentralized finance (DeFi), Real World Assets (RWAs), institutional adoption, and payments. The maturity of the industry will prove itself with time if it can demonstrate its resilience without veering away from its founding principles. Still, the crypto community has every reason to have faith in the industry. In the government, there is growing optimism, and for first-time founders and investors, they won't be waiting for permission but building with a clear purpose. While it cannot yet be called a victory lap, the developments are surely a restart not seen in years. OKX Exchange products are not yet available in the United States due to local laws and regulations. Investing in digital assets carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Potential investors should ensure that they have an understanding of the risks involved, seeking professional advice where appropriate.

The locking period will begin on June 24, 2025, at 11:00 UTC and conclude on June 26, 2025, at 11:00 UTC.

The Launchpool campaign will feature two separate pools. The primary pool allows users to lock Bitget's native token, BGB, with 59,776,000 DMC tokens allocated for eligible participants. A second pool offers an additional 6,400,000 DMC to those who choose to lock DMC tokens directly. Participation tiers and locking limits vary based on user VIP level, with proportional airdrops distributed on an hourly basis throughout the campaign. Locked assets will remain accessible for early unlocking at the user's discretion, and are automatically returned upon the campaign's end. The introduction of DeLorean (DMC) via Launchpool follows Bitget's broader strategy to highlight utility-focused tokens that combine real-world application with strong brand equity. DeLorean's transition into a tokenized mobility platform represents a notable intersection of automotive innovation and blockchain infrastructure, aligning with ongoing trends toward asset digitization and on-chain transparency.

Filecoin is building the 'Airbnb for file storage', says exec

Filecoin is building the 'Airbnb for file storage', says exec originally appeared on TheStreet. In a digital world where nearly all web data flows through Amazon, Google, or Microsoft, Marta Belcher and Filecoin are flipping the script. 'Think of it like Airbnb for file storage,' said Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation, in a recent conversation with TheStreet Roundtable. 'People all over the world can rent out unused storage space on their hardware to store encrypted shards of data—securely, privately, and without relying on centralized entities.' At its core, Filecoin is building what Belcher calls 'foundational technology for the next generation of the web,' offering a decentralized alternative to cloud giants like AWS. The goal? Resilience, security, and control—values often missing from the current data ecosystem. When most investors hear the word 'crypto,' they think price charts, digital assets, and decentralized finance. But according to Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation, that's only scratching the surface. 'Crypto isn't just about finance,' Belcher said. 'The real innovation is in programmable money.' Filecoin is showing what that means—starting with decentralized file storage. At first glance, the network looks like a Web3 challenger to Amazon Web Services, allowing anyone in the world to rent out unused storage space and get paid in FIL tokens. But it's the how that's revolutionary: payments on Filecoin are automated, granular, and permissionless. 'You can write a smart contract to pay a storage provider in real time, based on their uptime and performance,' said Belcher. 'Or pay a songwriter a fraction of a cent for every second a song is streamed. These kinds of micro-transactions were never possible before crypto.' It's a bold reframe of what blockchain technology can do. Instead of speculative hype or abstract decentralization, Filecoin is highlighting a tangible use case: letting people earn, store, and interact with data and payments in programmable ways—no middlemen required. 'Web3 lets us build systems where rules are baked into code,' Belcher added. 'That opens up entirely new business models—ones where creators, consumers, and infrastructure providers are all directly connected.' As regulators and investors continue to debate the future of digital assets, Filecoin is already shipping it. For Belcher and her team, the message is simple: crypto isn't a bet on finance. It's a bet on the programmable economy.
