  The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act does not directly impact the regulation of cryptocurrencies. The Glass-Steagall Act was primarily focused on separating commercial and investment banking activities, and its repeal primarily affected traditional financial institutions. However, the repeal of this act has indirectly influenced the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies. The increased integration between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency industry has prompted regulators to take a closer look at digital assets and develop new frameworks to address the unique risks and challenges they present. As a result, we have seen the emergence of new regulations and guidelines specifically tailored to cryptocurrencies, such as anti-money laundering measures and know-your-customer requirements. These regulatory developments aim to strike a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring consumer protection in the rapidly evolving digital asset space.
