The Impact of Cryptocurrencies and Their Regulatory Challenges and Countermeasures

Abstract

This paper mainly talks about the regulatory issues of cryptocurrencies and their potential impacts. With the rapid development of digital currencies, their status in cross-border payments is constantly rising, but it also brings high volatility and various economic crime risks, which is expected to change the current financial system. This paper conducts a literature review and case analysis to compare the different practices of countries in cryptocurrency regulation and points out the deficiencies of the current regulatory framework in responding to technological changes and safeguarding the interests of investors. It proposes relevant suggestions to enhance transparency, security, and innovation. The study also pays special attention to stablecoins and central bank digital currencies, which explores whether it can mitigate the market volatility and potential financial risks of cryptocurrencies to some extent. The future regulation of cryptocurrencies needs global cooperation and technological innovation to enable cryptocurrencies to play a positive role in economic development.
