Crypto Regulations and Exchanges in November 2025: U.S., UK, Singapore, and More
When it comes to crypto regulations, the legal frameworks that govern how cryptocurrencies are traded, taxed, and monitored by governments. Also known as digital asset compliance, it's no longer optional — it's the backbone of every serious crypto business in 2025. This month, major shifts happened across the globe. In the U.S., the CLARITY Act, a new federal law that tightens reporting for crypto exchanges and requires real-time transaction tracking went into effect, forcing platforms to upgrade their systems or shut down. Meanwhile, the UK’s FCA, the financial watchdog that now requires all crypto firms to register, pass audits, and follow the Travel Rule began cracking down on unregistered platforms, with fines hitting over $200 million in just three months. And in Singapore, the MAS crypto license, the mandatory permit for any exchange operating from or serving clients in Singapore became non-negotiable — even if you only trade with overseas users.
These rules didn’t appear out of nowhere. They’re responses to real problems: Russian exchanges like Garantex and Grinex getting blocked under U.S. sanctions, North Korean hackers laundering billions through fake remote jobs, and stablecoins like A7A5 being used to bypass restrictions. At the same time, DeFi platforms like Uniswap v3 on Unichain and THENA FUSION offered faster, cheaper trading — but only for those who understood the risks. Meanwhile, platforms like SoupSwap and PancakeSwap v2 on zkEVM showed up with big promises but zero users, proving that just because a project looks technical doesn’t mean it’s live. And then there were the airdrops — ONUS, WLBO, Polytrade — some real, most fake. The line between a legitimate token and a scam got thinner than ever.
What you’ll find below isn’t just a list of articles. It’s a map. A map of who’s licensed, who’s gone dark, who’s still trading under the radar, and who’s trying to sell you a ghost coin. You’ll see the truth about Chippy, Birb, and PEPECASH — the meme coins with no future. You’ll learn why USDB on Blast is one of the few yield-bearing stablecoins actually doing what it claims. You’ll find out how Nigerian businesses are forced to work around the law, and why Portugal’s crypto tax exemption vanished overnight. This isn’t theory. It’s what happened. And if you’re trading, storing, or building in crypto, you need to know it.
