Regulation
Regulation: a core concept in crypto coverage, explained in plain English.
Regulation refers to a concept that comes up constantly in crypto reporting. In practice it describes how regulation works, who is affected and why it matters to readers.
The term is often used loosely. A precise reading focuses on the mechanism behind regulation rather than the outcome, which is where most confusion starts.
