An 83% probability for market structure legislation sounds like a political headline, but builders read it differently. For them, this isn’t about price it’s about reducing uncertainty.
The biggest friction in crypto isn’t always technology; it’s not knowing which rules will exist six months from now. When regulation starts to look predictable, teams stop designing around legal ambiguity and start building for real users and long-term models.
If legislation actually moves forward this year, the impact won’t be immediate hype. It will be quieter.
Capital becomes more comfortable staying longer, infrastructure teams plan with more confidence, and products start looking less experimental and more like normal financial software.
Markets often react first to narratives, but structure changes behavior more slowly and more deeply.
Builders aren’t watching for the headline, they’re watching whether the rules finally make it easier to ship without constantly guessing what tomorrow looks like.
