The Virtual Assets and Virtual Asset Service Providers Act 2025 took effect on 23 December 2025. TTSEC says commercial virtual-asset activity is temporarily prohibited until 31 December 2026, except where TTSEC authorises it under the regulatory sandbox. The official sandbox list shows entities approved under that limited regime: verify the legal name, status, and scope before acting. The earlier advisory about absent supervision does not describe the current framework.

The SEC's 2026 interpretation explains how federal securities laws apply to certain crypto assets and transactions. The CFTC states that Bitcoin and other virtual currencies are commodities under the Commodity Exchange Act, with limited authority over spot markets. The outcome depends on the asset, transaction, and applicable federal and state rules.
