Can you tell me how widespread the adoption of cryptocurrency regulations is among countries worldwide? I'm curious to know if there are many nations that have implemented specific laws and frameworks to govern the use of digital currencies, or if it's still a relatively niche area of legislation. Additionally, are there any notable trends or patterns emerging in terms of the types of regulations being introduced, and are there any countries that stand out as leaders or outliers in this space?
