Navigating the patchwork of global crypto licensing for a payments product
We're building out a new payment rail that leverages stablecoins for cross-border transactions, aiming for a Q4 launch. The tech stack is solid, but the regulatory landscape is a constant moving target. Specifically, for a product touching multiple jurisdictions, how are others managing the practicalities of varying crypto licensing requirements? It's not just the application process, but the ongoing compliance overhead for things like travel rule implementation, which seems to differ subtly from one regulator to the next. Are there any common pitfalls or strategies being employed to streamline multi-jurisdictional compliance without having to build a bespoke legal framework for every single country we operate in?

That's a massive undertaking. Are you looking at a decentralized approach where the end-users handle some of the regulatory burden in their local jurisdictions, or is your product designed to be the regulated entity itself across all touchpoints?
