PwC: U.S. regulation is becoming clearer, expanding crypto business布局

BlockBeats News, January 5, PwC CEO Paul Griggs stated that as the US crypto regulatory environment becomes clearer, the company has decided to expand its business related to cryptocurrencies and digital assets. In an interview with the Financial Times, he pointed out that the new leadership at US regulatory agencies, as well as the advancement of the GENIUS Act (stablecoin-related legislation), are key factors prompting PwC to change its stance.

Griggs said that legislation and regulatory rules surrounding stablecoins will enhance market confidence, and the trend of asset tokenization will continue to develop. "PwC must be part of this ecosystem."

As one of the global "Big Four accounting firms," PwC currently lists crypto-related services on its official website, including audit, accounting, cybersecurity, wallet management, and compliance and regulatory consulting. Its clients include crypto exchanges, traditional financial institutions seeking to enter the crypto space, as well as governments, central banks, and regulatory agencies.

Griggs revealed that over the past 10–12 months, PwC has continued to increase its resource investment in the digital asset sector. "Whether it is audit or consulting, we have almost a full layout in the crypto field and are seeing more and more business opportunities."

Currently, all of the Big Four accounting firms have fully entered the crypto industry:

Deloitte provides blockchain strategy and consulting services;
EY covers crypto strategy and tax support;
KPMG offers crypto audit, cybersecurity, and consulting networks.

The market believes that the collective efforts of the Big Four reflect that, against the backdrop of a warming US regulatory environment, crypto assets are being further accepted by mainstream professional service systems.
