What to classify first
Start with jurisdiction, agency, legal instrument, status, affected entities, and deadline. That keeps a regulatory story from becoming a vague market headline.
Market impact
Regulation can affect exchange listings, stablecoin issuance, custody, disclosures, institutional access, and token liquidity.
What to watch next
Track comment periods, court deadlines, implementation dates, agency guidance, and whether exchanges or issuers change products in response.
