U.S. crypto rulemaking delays may speed tokenization firms’ overseas expansion

Delays in U.S. crypto legislation may accelerate tokenization companies’ expansion into overseas markets such as Europe and the United Arab Emirates, Crypto Briefing reported. Edwin Mata, co-founder and CEO of tokenization platform Brickken, said the U.S. remains a key market with deep capital markets and a strong institutional investor base, but prolonged regulatory uncertainty could prompt companies to prioritize investment in other regions. Mata added that the Democratic Party’s control of Congress has made passage of the CLARITY Act more uncertain, while the UAE, where communication between regulators and companies is active, and Europe, which has an established crypto regulatory framework, could be the main beneficiaries. Singapore and Hong Kong are also expected to benefit as institutional investor activity expands, he said.
