US Revenue Resilience After IEEPA Ruling: Standard Chartered Reveals Surprising Stability

Standard Chartered says the recent court narrowing of IEEPA has reduced regulatory uncertainty for digital assets, reinforcing US crypto revenue resilience. The bank finds stable transaction volumes on major exchanges, growing institutional interest, and expects a 15% increase in US-based crypto revenue next quarter (assuming no further legal changes). CoinMarketCap data cited shows a ~12% rise in daily trading volumes since the ruling, with Bitcoin and Ethereum remaining the dominant traded assets. The ruling also clarifies sanctions/compliance for exchanges and DeFi projects, prompting smart-contract and compliance updates that support revenue stability. Key risks include possible appeals or legislative changes, state-level regulatory differences, macro headwinds, and cybersecurity threats. Overall market impact is positive for US crypto activity and institutional participation, though contingent on legal and political developments.
