On "Markets Daily," Laurence Latimer, Founder and CEO of Dinara, discusses the recent significant drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices overnight. Despite this, positive strides are seen in the regulatory landscape for crypto, particularly in the US and UK where proposed bills and regulations are emerging. However, there's a clear call for greater collaboration between regulators and the industry. Key regulatory developments to monitor include the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, stablecoin legislation, and enforcement actions. Additionally, there's an exploration into the possibility of traditional financial markets adopting a 24/7 schedule akin to crypto markets.
