The US crypto regulation has changed dramatically in 2025, with the Trump administration adopting a pro-innovation, pro-crypto approach. Major developments included new executive orders, the disbanding of enforcement teams, and a shift toward clear, comprehensive legislation.
The year saw a move away from “regulation by enforcement” toward structured rules and federal clarity, while states continued to play a key role in shaping the regulatory environment.
Cryptocurrency in the US is taxed based on how long you hold the asset and your total taxable income. Short-term gains (assets held for one year or less) are taxed at ordinary income rates, while long-term gains (assets held for more than a year) are taxed at lower capital gains rates. Additionally, income from mining, staking, or receiving crypto as payment is taxed as ordinary income.

Istanbul Blockchain Week 2025 became the biggest annual edition of the event. It attracted thousands of global Web3 participants to Türkiye’s economic hub.
The two-day event, held June 26–27 at the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel, solidified Istanbul’s growing influence in blockchain innovation.
This year’s event hosted high-level discussions on stablecoins, real-world assets (RWAs), AI agents, tokenized finance, and regulation.
Organized for the fourth time by EAK Digital, the conference featured keynotes, workshops, and the launch of new formats, reflecting both scale and ambition.
Notable speakers included Mehmet Çamır, Chairman of OKX TR; Justin Sun, CEO of Tron; John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games; and Marco Dal Lago, VP of Global Expansion at Tether.
“The Turkish market is becoming a powerhouse in gaming in general. There are some really strong companies coming up here. We have a new FIFA game and the Turkish market is quite strong for that too. There are mobile game fans, and a few football fans out here. So it is a green market,” said John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games.
Industry executives and policymakers shared insights into institutional growth and regulatory changes shaping the sector.
Notably, Justin Sun focused on Tron’s stablecoin ecosystem. He emphasized compliance upgrades and real-world use cases across Türkiye.
Sun pointed to Türkiye’s growing relevance as a testbed for retail adoption and sovereign stablecoin applications.
Meanwhile, Mehmet Çamır addressed the regulatory space. He noted Türkiye’s large retail crypto base, with over 14 million users, making compliance and investor protection a top priority.

Overall, Istanbul Blockchain Week’s record turnout follows a strong year for global crypto events.
