This is largely because its laws and regulations are kept abreast with the developments of the crypto industry, providing a conducive infrastructure for the industry to flourish. The regulatory environment is favourable for token issuers and blockchain platforms to operate in, and also provides sufficient protection for investors and token purchasers.
