Exchange compliance has become standard; how can RWA on-chain integration connect traditional finance?

Question

【Chain Wen】Recently, at a wealth management summit, the head of institutional business at a leading exchange shared a core viewpoint: compliance has long ceased to be an option and has become the foundation for the long-term survival and steady development of exchanges.

To put it more plainly, if an exchange wants to survive longer and do well, compliance must be prioritized. This leader mentioned that their team is actively advancing compliance construction in multiple regions worldwide, proactively adapting to different regulatory rules in various countries and areas, with the goal of providing institutional and professional traders with a safe, transparent, and sustainable digital asset trading environment. This attitude is indeed completely different from the reckless style of a few years ago.

Another point worth noting is the development trend of RWA (Real World Assets). This exchange has already conducted early explorations in the RWA field and is now accelerating the on-chainization and large-scale application of RWA. Their approach is very clear: collaborating with traditional banks and financial institutions to gradually bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.

Specifically, it is about realizing the issuance, trading, and circulation of RWA within a compliant framework. In this way, traditional assets can not only flow on the chain but also gain accessibility to global markets and higher trading efficiency. This integration direction is a step closer to the mainstream financial system for the entire Web3 ecosystem.

Compliance is rolling out, it feels like there's no turning back on this wave

RWA is really the future, the flavor of on-chain banks is getting stronger and stronger

To be honest, the old rough approach should have been eliminated long ago

Now exchanges are racing to comply, those who react slowly will be left behind

Is traditional finance about to be acquired backwards by on-chain assets? This is quite interesting

The influx of institutions started just like this, with compliance + RWA dual engines taking off

It feels like we're one step closer to true large-scale adoption

Compliance should have been handled this way a long time ago, but why do exchanges only start rectifying when they're pushed to the brink...

Can RWA truly connect with traditional finance? It still feels like there are many pitfalls to watch out for.

What sounds good now often turns out to be another story when it comes to implementation.

Is on-chain maturity achieved, or is it just another PPT project...

Will this wave of institutional entry become a new tactic for cutting leeks again?

Compliance is just the beginning; the key is how long they can survive.

Why does it always feel like the big picture is drawn first, and real implementation is always in the next quarter...

Compliance has long been this way, but there are still exchanges gambling on luck... RWA on-chain is the real breaking point, and the traditional finance folks have finally been willing to bow down.

RumbleValidator · Answer

Compliance as a standard is correct to say— but the real issue is that very few exchanges can truly establish a robust multi-chain compliance system. Achieving financial-grade reliability at the validation node level is not just talk. RWA on-chain sounds appealing, but traditional finance's requirements for data credibility are far more stringent than we imagine, requiring genuine consensus mechanisms for endorsement.

Compliance has become standard, to put it simply, you have to stay alive to make money.

RWA on-chain indeed has a lot of potential; it depends on whether the traditional financial folks are willing to cooperate.

Exchanges have really matured over the past few years, no longer growing wildly like before.

Those who can connect traditional finance this time are probably also going to make a fortune.

Regulatory crackdown has become like this... Exchanges are really backed into a corner.

Is compliance becoming the standard? Basically, it's about how much we learned our lesson after growing wildly before.

On-chain RWA (Real-World Assets) is easier to talk about than to implement. Are traditional finance folks really willing to relinquish control?

This cycle is completely different from before. Once institutions come in, the rules of the game must change.
