Amid a significant shift in the US government's attitude towards digital assets, PwC, one of the Big Four accounting firms, is increasing its investment in cryptocurrencies and related businesses. Paul Griggs, PwC's US head, stated that this strategic shift began last year, primarily benefiting from the appointment of pro-crypto regulatory officials and the advancement of several digital asset-related legislations in the US Congress. Griggs pointed out that the regulatory framework surrounding stablecoins and the Genius Act are helping to boost market confidence in these assets, and asset tokenization will continue to develop, requiring PwC to be deeply involved in this emerging ecosystem. The report states that these statements reflect that changes in the policy environment are prompting traditional blue-chip institutions to reassess and gradually enter the digital asset market, which they had previously maintained a cautious stance towards.

Trader "Daidaidabit" posted on the X platform that expectations for the overall PERP sector should be lowered after the Lightning TGE, especially given its merely stable performance after the TGE. He advised against full-scale participation in this sector. If a particular pattern is relatively stable, maintaining it is sufficient; increasing investment is unwise. He has already invested funds withdrawn from Lightner into Standx and Var, reducing principal and effort investment, and increasing investment in prediction markets, arguing that the sector has a bright future and has not yet undergone a TGE.

The Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), spearheaded by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), officially came into effect on January 1, 2026, initially covering 48 countries and regions. This framework requires crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) to disclose user transaction information to tax authorities and submit annual reports covering transactions, exchanges, and asset transfers, aiming to promote global tax transparency and strengthen cross-border data exchange. Reports indicate that CARF aims to fill regulatory gaps in the existing Common Reporting Standard (CRS) for digital assets and plans to launch regular information exchange among member states starting in 2027. All EU members, the UK, Brazil, and the Cayman Islands will be among the first to participate, with Australia, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, and the UAE expected to join in 2028, and the US planning to join in 2029. The OECD stated that this framework brings crypto-assets under tax regulatory standards comparable to those of the traditional financial system, significantly reducing opportunities for tax evasion using crypto-assets.
