I think you’re right and the final point of “being able to unwind trades” is most likely a smaller issue than people make it out to be.


Unlike what a concerning number of crypto enthusiasts appear to believe, "sorry for your loss" is often not an acceptable response in the mainstream world of finance.

But just like most players in the space have magically discovered the need for KYC if they want any real mainstream adoption, I expect that they'll also spend the next few years discovering why chargebacks and fraud protection are a thing.


We know, the Fed will step in at any time to back stop the losses. Don't kid yourself into thinking that such a system is without systemic risks. There's a reason why the big wigs spend their time in Davos dreaming and scheming about The Great and Orderly Reset.

As for KYC, crypto is well aware of it. Any centralized exchange you deal with in US has it in place already.

As for fraud protection and chargebacks, that is really just an insurance problem. And that's got solutions in the works.
