Throwback to #Spark by Fireblocks from 2 weeks ago 🕶️ Expanding #Markets, Evolving #Regulations, and Big #Predictions for 2025 🚀 Here are 5 key takeaways from my panel with Igor Telyatnikov (AlphaPoint) that stood out: 1️⃣ Go Global from Day 1: Unlike traditional fintechs, crypto companies can't afford to focus on one region. 90% of our clients operate in multiple jurisdictions from the start — and with it comes the challenge of managing cross-border compliance, regulatory differences, and multi-entity reporting. 2️⃣ The Power of Emerging Markets: While regulatory uncertainty keeps some firms out of the U.S., we're seeing strong activity in Latin America, Asia, and the UAE. Companies are leveraging these markets as launch pads for global growth. Will 2025 be the year of onshoring? We think YES. 3️⃣ Regulatory Clarity is King: As the U.S. faces potential policy shifts, firms are hedging their bets. We discussed how MICA (Europe’s new crypto regulation) and other frameworks are influencing company strategies, with service providers already ramping up for the next wave of compliance demands. 4️⃣ Scaling for Success (Don’t Get Caught Off-Guard!): Companies underestimate the complexity of scaling. Whether it's managing new wallets or reconciling transactions across entities, the back-office load grows exponentially. The lesson? Plan your tech and operational capacity for 3-5 years ahead — not just for where you are today. 5️⃣ Bullish on 2025 (Yes, We Said It) 🐂: Predictions flew, with some of us forecasting Bitcoin hitting $250K - $350K by 2025. The buzz is undeniable, with Coinbase launching Apple Pay for crypto and platform volumes skyrocketing. All signs point to a big year ahead. It was an honor to share insights on how crypto companies can seize the moment, expand into new markets, and prepare for the bull run ahead. If you’re thinking about entering new geographies, managing multi-entity compliance, or scaling up your financial infrastructure — I’d love to chat! #Crypto #Fintech #Regulation #GlobalMarkets #BullRun2025
