Onshore KYC and offshore resilience
Watching the latest push for more stringent KYC/AML even on smaller transactions onshore, I can't help but wonder if some of these newer, 'digitally native' offshore banks are actually better positioned for long-term resilience. Traditional institutions are bogged down in legacy systems and regulatory capture, whereas a lean, compliant offshore entity might navigate future compliance landscapes with more agility, even if their current $ADA or $AAVE accounts are scrutinised. Or am I just seeing the grass greener on the other side? Push back.
It's an interesting point about the agility of newer offshore banks. However, the regulatory landscape for them is also evolving rapidly, which could present its own set of unique challenges.
