trump administration poised to relax banking regulations amid industry optimism
The financial sector faces renewed pressure for deregulation as Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House raises concerns about the rollback of post-2008 reforms.

Asia, particularly Hong Kong and Singapore, is poised to benefit from this momentum, with increased licensing and trading activity in digital assets. However, some experts remain skeptical, viewing crypto as a speculative trade rather than a stable investment.
