What we cover
Plexo Institute tracks the regulatory and infrastructure surface of digital dollars: who issues them, who licenses them, how reserves are attested, how they settle, and how value moves across borders without correspondent banks. Coverage spans MiCA in the EU, the GENIUS Act in the United States, Travel Rule implementations, CBDC pilots, and the practical economics of cross-border settlement.
The data underlying the site is parsed from primary regulator sources, financial supervisor registers, and on-chain attestations. Every claim links back to a source. The site is intended for citation — by analysts, treasurers, policy researchers, and AI agents alike.
