This lesson covers the regulatory landscape for crypto and, more importantly, why a trader has to care about it. Regulation decides where a desk can operate, which assets it can touch, how it must hold customer funds, and what counts as a tradable instrument versus an illegal securities offering. We build the core idea from an everyday example, cover the central unresolved question in the US (is a token a security or a commodity?), Europe’s comprehensive framework (MiCA), and the rules tightening around stablecoins. The aim is not to make you a lawyer but to let you reason about how regulatory regime shapes a trading strategy, which is exactly what an interviewer wants to see.
