Ideally, it is not the cryptocurrency that should be regulated, but the structures that provide participants with access to the cryptocurrency market. In this case, the cryptocurrency will be safer for investments, since investments will be protected by law and, accordingly, there will be fewer scammers on the market.
Now, this may be a new understanding for me personally, because all this time, my thoughts are. If regulations are made for crypto, then it will more or less affect the decentralized nature of crypto to not be fully decentralized, because there is interference from certain parties (in this case the government).
That for sure it could affect but I'd never think that it can affect the volatile nature of the market. As if it happens that there is a strict crypto regulation, the number one that could change is to have KYC. It is pretty obvious that the government will ask for that for taxation reasons and this leaves us no way to escape but have to face it.
Many people had come due to the anonymity that crypto has but as this changes, I don't know if this could still give an interest to the community or that they will keep on fiat.
