@jchervinsky @therollupco This is probably where onchain finance was always headed in the U.S. Keep the rails onchain. Keep settlement fast. Build the compliance into the access points instead of pretending KYC/AML is just gonna disappear. 😂

@jchervinsky @therollupco Trader frame: write what makes you wrong before debating what might be right. Re-check liquidity under a funding oi lens.

@jchervinsky @therollupco The forced trade is front-end capture: US onchain finance can keep self-custody rails, but revenue routes through KYC gateways. Anonymous pools get pushed offshore or drained of serious volume.

@jchervinsky @therollupco I used to rely on memory here. Now I focus on checking whether a trade still answered the original question.

kyc/aml as unavoidable for compliant us onchain finance is the split getting clearer - regulated rails vs private money. that tension is exactly why $zec encrypted cash keeps mattering. not as a kyc dodge meme - as a separate design for financial privacy when everything else gets watched.

CFTC Mike Selig laid out an exciting roadmap for the Commission's top priorities at Milken Institute's Future of Finance 2026 today: "I view Project Crypto as a historic initiative between the agencies to upgrade and modernize our rules and regulations and future-proof them for technologies like crypto...." "Many of the firms want to move onchain. The prior administration drove a lot of these firms and the liquidity offshore. The perpetuals markets are a great example of this. We've had perpetual futures contracts in crypto assets for a very long time[,] but they've developed offshore[.] We've got to bring that back to the United States. We need to have that liquidity here in the U.S...." "We're working towards getting perpetual futures, true perpetual futures, not long-dated contracts, here in the U.S. within the next month or so.... We're also working towards onchain markets, so we're looking to have clear guidance as to what sort of digital wallets would implicate our regulations. The prior administration really went after firms that were just offering software products...." "We're also working towards regulations that accommodate onchain software systems, so decentralized finance protocols and other types of blockchain networks.... We're going to make sure it's very clear as to what implicates the CFTC's regulations and what doesn't, and to the extent that an onchain software system or front-end does implicate our rules or regulations, we're modernizing and future-proofing those rules so that there's a place for all of that." HPC applauds Chairman Selig's forward-thinking approach to regulation and stands ready to support his crucial work ensuring that decentralized markets for perpetual derivatives thrive in the United States. 🇺🇸
