BGA Report
2026 Regulatory Landscape
The launch of this Global Regulatory Framework for Blockchain Gaming: 2026 Report comes at a pivotal moment for our industry. Across the globe, we are witnessing regulators grappling with a rapidly evolving ecosystem where digital game assets are no longer confined to the boundaries of entertainment, they intersect with financial markets, data privacy, consumer protection, and increasingly, artificial intelligence.
This report treats blockchain gaming as a regulatory stress test for the digital economy. Rather than analysing games as products, it examines them as systems: systems where ownership is tokenised, value moves on-chain, participation is global by default, and rules are increasingly automated. The objective is not to advocate for a particular regulatory outcome, but to understand how different legal systems are responding to the same underlying challenges.
