Buckle up—bank lobbying efforts are about to shift into overdrive. 2025 kept them occupied, but 2026 is shaping up to be the real battleground.

Interestingly, the current administration has allowed wins on topics most people never hear about—Basel standards, open banking frameworks, technical compliance stuff. Meanwhile, crypto advocates got what they wanted on their radar. But here's the thing: traditional finance and digital assets need some common ground if they want real influence. Without alignment on shared goals, both sides lose momentum.

2026 is about to begin, and both banks and crypto are sharpening their blades. It's really hard to say who will win or lose at that time. If traditional finance and the crypto world could really sit down and have a proper discussion, that would be a miracle... Right now, each side is doing their own thing. It's lively, but no one truly respects the other. Most people don't know about Basel standards, but they end up affecting everyone. That's ridiculous. Let's bet on whether 2026 will really explode or not, haha. If there's no consensus, then everyone just do their own thing. Anyway, neither side wants the other to have an easy time.

The big show in 2026 is about to begin. How could the banks possibly let crypto pass so easily? Common ground? Ha, they can't even sit at the same table. Traditional finance and blockchain each do their own thing. In the end, it's still us retail investors who foot the bill. Those so-called "victories" by the government are just tricks to fool those who aren't paying attention. The real battles are still ahead. Let's wait and see who will be the first to flip the table in 2026.

Haha, so everyone just wins, nobody loses? 2026 will definitely be even more competitive.

Haha, the bank lobbying is about to start stirring again. 2026 will really blow up. Traditional finance and crypto, these two rivals, have to fight each other, but they don't realize they're both doomed. Who cares about Basel standards... the real war has just begun.

Can traditional finance and crypto really sit at the same table? I doubt it. Bankers will start fighting for real in 2026, now that's the highlight. Common ground? Ha, dream on. The conflict of interest is right there. Both sides want to monopolize, and the joint government approach can't fool me at all. Just wait and see, 2026 is destined to be a big show. What Basel standards? These behind-the-scenes things are the real game changers.
