CoinReporter's Interview with Harley Simpson from Foxify on Regulations, CBDC Innovations, and Their Unique Platform"When it comes to long-term potential, we're already seeing some of it play out with major players like Fidelity and BlackRock getting involved in the space, even if not directly with Bitcoin. While we're currently experiencing a challenging regulatory environment in the US, I believe that once the regulations are in place, larger institutions will enter the market. This will lead to mass adoption and decreased volatility over time, ultimately highlighting Bitcoin's great potential.As for the impact of regulation on the blockchain industry, it's true that regulations could slow down the development of smaller projects, as the barrier to entry may become more difficult to navigate.
