Saying "screw the regulators" isn't a real strategy anymore.
Equity perps on DEXs? Hot as hell. But they're basically waving a giant flag at regulators.
Lighter might not slap on KYC or geo-blocks right away. But the second they list stuff like Coinbase stock, Robinhood, Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla? Yeah, that probability just shot way up.
You think traditional finance won't notice when DeFi starts eating their lunch with tokenized equities? They're already circling.
The Wild West era is ending. Platforms touching real-world assets will either adapt or get crushed by compliance hammers. No middle ground here.

The days of rampant growth are indeed coming to an end, and the token stock sector will eventually have to compromise.

The trap of resisting regulation is already outdated; TradFi will not sit idly by.

I've said it long ago, we can't handle those people in TradFi this time. Do you really think the regulators are asleep?

The era of reckless growth is really over; we can no longer go head-to-head.

Regulation is here, the days of reckless growth really should come to an end.

equity perps are useless no matter how popular they get; once they touch real assets, it's game over.
---
So, those still shouting "screw the regulation" haven't been punched yet.
---
Those in traditional finance won't sit idly by; they will definitely find loopholes regarding tokenized stocks.

Does Lighter dare to invest in Tesla stocks? I'm just waiting to see the day they get blown up.

Compliance or bankruptcy, there is simply no third option. They can't escape this hurdle.

DeFi has devoured so much cake from TradFi, now it's time to be bitten back lol.
---
Do you really think decentralization can avoid regulation? Naive.

The old brother is right, playing the "ignore regulation" game now is a suicidal strategy.
Those TradFi people have been eyeing DeFi for a long time, and if they really want to tokenize real assets, just wait to be trapped in a sack.
Lighter looks wild now, but once it goes public with big company stocks, it will immediately crash; that's a hard rule.
Instead of fighting against it, it's better to bail in early; compliance is the long-term way to survive.

It's just a matter of time; wild growth can't last long.
