The U.S. regulatory policy landscape for cryptocurrency is expected to undergo significant changes in 2026, shaped by six key dates. January may see hearings on a market structure bill, while May 15 marks the end of Jerome Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chair. California's new cryptocurrency regulations will take effect on July 1, and the Genius Act could drive regulatory rulemaking on July 18. August may bring changes to tax policies and CFTC regulations, and the mid-term elections on November 3 could shift political support for cryptocurrency. Additionally, MiCA, the EU's regulatory framework, may also influence U.S. policy discussions as global standards continue to evolve.
