PANews, December 19 – Forbes recently published an in-depth report focusing on the latest developments in the US stablecoin regulatory framework, with a particular emphasis on the "2025 Skynet US Digital Asset Policy Report" released by CertiK, the world's largest Web3 security company. The report cites CertiK's analysis, pointing out that as key policies such as the GENIUS Act continue to advance, the US digital asset industry is transitioning from broad principles to a new stage centered on specific requirements, enforceable regulation, and institutional-level compliance expectations. CertiK co-founder and CEO Ronghui Gu stated in the report that, in the future, the issuers able to stand out in the stablecoin sector will be those companies that have already established mature, institutional-grade operational systems in reserve management, transparency, and infrastructure. The industry as a whole is also shifting towards a "security-first" approach. Additionally, Forbes, citing CertiK's report, analyzed that the divergence in regulatory paths between the US and Europe is reshaping the global liquidity landscape for stablecoins: the US regards dollar stablecoins as strategic assets, while the EU's MiCA framework centers on protecting euro monetary sovereignty, gradually forming a "dual-track" stablecoin system. CertiK believes that regulation will not only determine who can issue stablecoins, but also who can compete globally. The real competition is shifting towards long-term operational capabilities across regulatory regimes.
