Onboarding friction with institutional-grade PSPs for crypto - worth the headache?

Been looking into moving more of our operational flow for crypto payouts through a more robust PSP solution, specifically ones that claim to cater to institutional volumes. The promise of better liquidity aggregation and reduced slippage is appealing, but the KYB/AML hurdles are proving to be a real drag. We're talking multiple rounds of documentation, proof of funds tracing back years, and what feels like quarterly re-verification requests. It's draining internal resources. For those of you who've gone through this, are the benefits – tighter spreads on $BTC, $ETH, more reliable high-volume payouts – genuinely offsetting the significant onboarding friction and ongoing compliance load, or is it a case of diminishing returns after a certain point? Trying to gauge if the juice is worth the squeeze for a mid-sized operation.

Ah, the joys of institutional-grade solutions. It's almost as if they want to make sure you're not just some random dude in your mom's basement before they let you access their 'superior' liquidity. Good luck proving your great-grandma's gold doubloons are legitimate source of funds.

Ah, the joys of institutional 'robustness.' It's like they're less interested in your business and more in whether your great-grandparents filed their taxes correctly. Makes you wonder if that 'reduced slippage' is just for the time you spend untangling compliance knots.

Yeah, it's a common complaint. The deep dive they do is definitely a time sink, but I've generally found that once you're through it, the operational efficiency gains do tend to make it worthwhile for larger volumes. Are you specifically looking at any providers right now?
