Web3 security company CertiK released the report "2026 Digital Asset Regulatory Status," systematically outlining global regulatory trends. The report indicates that by 2026, the regulatory frameworks in major jurisdictions will have basically been established, and the industry is entering a phase of full compliance. The report shows that anti-money laundering enforcement has replaced the definition of securities attributes as the primary regulatory risk, with global anti-money laundering-related fines exceeding $900 million in the first half of 2025, and transaction monitoring capabilities becoming a core compliance requirement.At the same time, smart contract security audits are evolving from industry best practices to entry requirements, becoming essential for license approval and token listings. Additionally, global stablecoin regulatory frameworks are becoming more consistent, generally establishing principles such as full reserves and licensed issuance; however, differences in cross-jurisdictional regulation still pose compliance challenges. The report points out that with regulatory convergence and strengthened enforcement, the industry has entered the "strong compliance era." CertiK states that the core issue facing enterprises is shifting from "Are we compliant?" to "Can we quickly build and implement compliance capabilities?" Licensing in multiple regions, investments in anti-money laundering, and ongoing security audits are becoming the foundational thresholds for institutional development.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that in 2014, he envisioned building a decentralized, permissionless application network based on a technology stack. Now, all the conditions to realize the original Web3 vision are in place and will continue to strengthen. It is time to build a decentralized world.He mentioned that the decentralized messaging protocol Waku has supported applications like Railway and Status, and IPFS performs strongly as a decentralized file retrieval method, although storage issues need improvement. Taking Fileverse, a decentralized alternative to Google Docs/Sheets, as an example, its usability has significantly improved, utilizing Ethereum and Gnosis chains for account handling, processing documents with decentralized messaging and storage, and also through open-source "exit tests." He criticized the various drawbacks of "corporate bloated products" and cited cases to prove the risks are real.Today, decentralized applications like Fileverse are good enough to use. He frequently uses them to write and collaborate on documents, contrasting this with the difficulty of decentralized applications in 2014. He calls on builders to collectively embrace the decentralized renaissance.

ChainCatcher news, Hong Kong Monetary Authority Vice President Chen Weimin pointed out in an article for "Hui Si" that the main application scenarios proposed by the first batch of institutions participating in the "sandbox" include payment, supply chain management, and capital market use cases. The participating institutions in the "sandbox" also proposed other use cases, including Web3, gaming, and virtual asset trading. Entering the "sandbox" is not a prerequisite for future license applications; if the participating institutions in the "sandbox" intend to obtain a license, they must submit a formal application separately after the regulatory framework is implemented.
