Fritsche said, arguing that the absence of mechanisms to freeze individual assets can lead to broader disruptions affecting users not connected to illicit activity.<\/p>\n<p>Fritsche also questioned the effectiveness of compliance systems that rely on behavioural heuristics, saying they are based on probability rather than certainty and may incorrectly identify legitimate activity as suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>He further argued that sophisticated criminal organisations can often circumvent asset freezes, limiting their effectiveness while increasing compliance burdens for lawful users and financial service providers.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of relying primarily on post-incident enforcement, Fritsche called for greater investment in application security and preventative measures designed to stop attacks before they occur.<\/p>\n<p>The debate highlights growing tension between privacy, regulatory compliance and user protection as stablecoin issuers and blockchain developers seek to balance legal obligations with the technical design of&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/grafa.com\/en\/news\/crypto\/privacy-blockchains-face-growing-stablecoin-compliance-challenge\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privacy blockchains face growing stablecoin compliance challenge https:\/\/grafa.com\/en\/news\/crypto\/privacy-blockchains-face-growing-stablecoin-compliance-challenge Publish Date: 2026-06-29 03:55:00 Source Domain: grafa.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":283508,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/assets.hq.grafa.com\/A_digital_illustration_depicting_a_202606291245-1-1200x670.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-283507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283507"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283507"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283509,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283507\/revisions\/283509"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
