About This Webinar

Q2 2026 arrived with a sharper edge. Regulatory frameworks for stablecoins and tokenization are moving from design to delivery. DeFi hacks are testing the limits of on-chain resilience, and a new question is emerging at the center of every compliance conversation: how does AI transform the compliance and regulatory journey?

Join TRM's policy experts Ari Redbord and Isabella Chase — alongside David Katz (Vice President for Strategy & Public Policy, Asia Pacific, Circle) — as they take you around the world to unpack the key developments that shaped the second quarter. From Washington to Brussels to Singapore, they'll examine how lawful actors and illicit networks alike are adapting to a more supervised, and more complex, landscape.

You'll learn about:

  • Americas: How US regulators and markets are responding to evolving crypto oversight priorities, and what the legislative landscape looks like heading into the second half of 2026
  • EMEA: MiCA implementation milestones, supervisory focus areas, and what enforcement posture is emerging across EU member states
  • APAC: Where key jurisdictions stand on licensing and stablecoin governance — and what's accelerating
  • AI and Cyber: How the convergence of AI-enabled threats and operational resilience requirements is reshaping risk management frameworks for financial institutions and crypto businesses
  • DeFi: What Q2's hacks reveal about protocol-level vulnerabilities — and whether the sector is building toward accountability or outrunning it
