One common mistake is treating every speech as if it were binding policy. Another is talking about stablecoins, exchanges, and developer infrastructure as if they all live under the same policy logic.
Common traps to watch:
- treating every speech as binding policy
- ignoring how rules differ across stablecoins, exchanges, and wallets
- waiting for certainty before planning operational responses
References that help correct the drift:
- Coin Center research archive: coincenter.org/research/
Useful for plain-language policy analysis and legislative interpretation.
- FATF virtual assets topic page: fatf-gafi.org/en/topics/virtual-assets.html
