  The Glass-Steagall Act, which was enacted in 1933, aimed to separate commercial banking from investment banking to prevent conflicts of interest and protect consumers. However, since the act was repealed in 1999, it no longer directly impacts the cryptocurrency industry. Cryptocurrencies operate outside the traditional banking system and are not subject to the same regulations as traditional financial institutions. Therefore, the Glass-Steagall Act does not have a direct impact on the regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges or the operation of other cryptocurrency-related businesses.

  The Glass-Steagall Act has no direct impact on the cryptocurrency industry. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized and operate independently of traditional banking systems. They are not subject to the same regulations and restrictions as traditional financial institutions. Therefore, the separation of commercial banking and investment banking, as mandated by the Glass-Steagall Act, does not apply to cryptocurrencies or cryptocurrency exchanges.

  As a third-party cryptocurrency exchange, BYDFi is not directly affected by the Glass-Steagall Act. The act primarily focuses on the separation of commercial and investment banking activities, which does not directly apply to the operations of cryptocurrency exchanges. However, it is important to note that the cryptocurrency industry as a whole is subject to various regulations and compliance requirements, which may differ from country to country. These regulations aim to ensure consumer protection, prevent money laundering, and promote market integrity.
