The Future of Cryptocurrency: Compliance?

Recently, I have been pondering whether Trump's presidency counts as a cut? The frenzy of issuing tokens to make quick money has drained liquidity from the crypto space, and the first half of 2025 will be a dead sea for crypto.

However, thinking about the cost of the industry's leap forward has enlightened me.

For the cryptocurrency sector to reach its current scale, it must gain government support; otherwise, regulatory scrutiny and bureaucratic inefficiencies could delay the revolutionary technology of blockchain by a decade. By then, development opportunities will have passed, and it could be replaced by new technologies, leading to decline.

🚀 In the long run, exchanging money for government recognition of the industry to achieve escape velocity for interstellar leaps in cryptocurrency is worthwhile.

In the next four years, the most rapid development in the crypto industry will undoubtedly be the compliance feast, as companies that can obtain global licenses and comply with their national laws will have the greatest competitive moat, allowing them to grow rapidly and leave later entrants far behind.

🔸 I have recently been looking at @AlchemyPay, which is the largest fiat on/off ramp in the crypto space. It is rapidly expanding its compliance licenses globally, having recently invested in the Hong Kong licensed broker HTF and obtained three licenses in Hong Kong. It feels like they are up to something big.

🎯 License Layout

Alchemy Pay is a crypto payment company that is globally laying out compliance licenses, having obtained licenses in 16 countries, including the MTL in the USA, the Authorized Payment Institution (API) license in the UK, and VQF membership in Switzerland. It is said that they have already started applying for the challenging EU MiCA.

🌈 Issuing Stablecoins

They are building a stablecoin public chain, Alchemy Chain, for global cross-border payments and will issue their own stablecoin, with an official statement indicating deployment starting in Q4.

🔹 Established for 8 years, they have accumulated a massive user base. After securing global compliance payment licenses, they are leveraging this to launch their own public chain and issue stablecoins. This project is making big moves!

✅ Summary + Investment

Alchemy Pay's token $ACH was listed on top exchanges like Binance and Coinbase in 2020, and the current price is 0.022, with a total market cap of only 220 million. The fundamentals have been expanding rapidly lately; whether the price has already reflected this or if there are still opportunities, I cannot say.

I will make a note to come back and revisit this in three months.
