The survival of cryptocurrencies in the policy cycle: proving practicality is the key

【ChainWen】Recently, I’ve been pondering a question—what does the fluctuation of policy environments truly mean for the cryptocurrency industry?

Industry observers believe that there is some uncertainty in current policy expectations, which could pose hidden risks to the long-term development of cryptocurrencies. But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing; the key lies in how the industry responds.

What cryptocurrencies truly need to do is demonstrate their practicality and necessity. This isn’t just to pass regulatory scrutiny but to build the industry’s “immunity.” Once crypto assets are deeply integrated into the financial system and become part of the infrastructure, policy fluctuations are no longer fatal blows—they become opportunities for the industry’s “reconstruction,” not destruction.

In simple terms, rather than passively waiting for favorable policies, it’s better to proactively strengthen one’s economic value and scene applications. When you are important enough, policies will need to adapt to you.
