🔮 Crystal Ball — another quote from Rostyslav Slavy’uk in our Aquarium issue
“At one point, major global players advocated for a unified global settlement system as a way to increase transparency and reduce illicit activity.
Such a system could significantly limit illegal channels and financial gray zones, but it also raises questions around implementation, governance, and regulation.
As global finance becomes more interconnected, the move toward standardized oversight and legal normalization of transactions appears difficult to reverse.
This shift is likely to trigger political debate, especially in countries where financial systems are closely tied to informal networks.”
