This trend accelerates the demand for privacy-enhancing technologies and decentralized infrastructure, potentially redirecting capital towards protocols and assets facilitating digital autonomy and censorship resistance. Such developments underscore evolving regulatory landscapes and the increasing difficulty of national digital borders."
