Can crypto survive a US policy U-turn? Canton CEO points to Uber

2026-10-08

Canton CEO Yuval Rooz says crypto needs wide adoption to hold up against changes in US policy. Cointelegraph reported his comments on Oct 8, 2026. He compared blockchain adoption to Uber and Airbnb.

His argument is that if enough people use blockchain, that use could help protect it from possible policy reversals. It is his view of how the industry can defend itself, not a policy action or an announcement.

The report summary doesn't name a specific US policy, regulator, bill or deadline. It also gives no adoption figures and doesn't say which reversal Rooz has in mind.

If you already hold a perpetual position, this changes nothing directly. The report describes no change to funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX. It is an executive's opinion about the long-term relationship between crypto and US policy, and it has no immediate effect on what an open position costs to hold.
