I feel the primary challenge in the path to compliance for stablecoin payments stems not from legal and regulatory push, but from a lack of product-market fit (PMF). Strong-demand clients are often less than pure, and there's always an element of regulatory arbitrage involved.
I've heard so many concerns, especially from those with a Web2 background. However, this is precisely the meaning of building. The current situation doesn't guarantee the future; faith comes from a firm belief in the underlying technology and simple logic.
Without someone driving the industry forward, boundaries won't be expanded. Without truly useful products that offer an experience superior to Revolut and Stripe, there naturally won't be top-tier customers.
So perhaps the best approach isn't to distance yourself or give up, to hesitantly observe from the sidelines, or to go along with the crowd and sink. Instead, it's to reflect each morning with a vision for tomorrow.
