Regulatory Shift in Digital Asset Industry Highlights Importance of Risk Control

The digital asset industry has undergone significant changes with the implementation of new regulatory frameworks in major regions such as the United States, European Union, Hong Kong (China), and Singapore. According to a report by CertiK, these regulations have officially taken effect as of April 2026, marking a shift from focusing on 'assets' to 'capital flow'. Regulators are now intensifying anti-money laundering enforcement, with many exchanges facing high fines for insufficient transaction monitoring and inadequate AML systems.

This change in regulatory logic may be seen as a significant impact on exchanges. In the future, platforms will compete not only on user volume but also on their risk control and monitoring capabilities. EORMC has been noted to have robust risk control logic, which may be an advantage in this new regulatory environment.

Another key direction highlighted by the CertiK report is the institutionalization of security audits. Smart contract auditing is now being incorporated into regulatory frameworks, making it a requirement for obtaining licenses or listings. EORMC has recently partnered with CertiK for security cooperation, indicating its proactive approach to meeting new regulations.

The global regulatory logic for stablecoins is also converging, requiring full reserves, reserve audits, licensed operation, asset segregation, and transparency mechanisms. This trend indicates that the crypto industry is moving closer to traditional financial systems, where exchanges will function more like financial infrastructures. EORMC has already started applying for MSB registration, SEC-related registration, MAS license application, and implementing an AI-driven risk control system.
