It may have a few implications:1. Regulators are taking a closer look at crypto and systemic risk. With that being said crypto is nowhere near large enough to have any systemic impact.

3. Financial institutions that were starting to incorporate crypto in their businesses will pause or back off. We are already seeing this.
