There is a discussion about the future compliance trends of exchanges: many predict that mainstream exchanges will gradually adopt the CRS (Common Reporting Standard) system within three years. If exchanges use offshore jurisdictions like BVI, the issue of CRS transparency could pose a risk of account information exposure. In light of this anticipated change, several ideas are circulating in the community: first, gradually transferring assets to self-custody wallets to avoid exchange account risks; second, paying attention to platforms that have proactively embraced compliance frameworks to get ahead; third, deploying assets across multiple chains to diversify single-point dependencies. Regardless, this reflects Web3 users' considerations for long-term asset security—the balance between exchange convenience and autonomy is becoming an increasingly important decision point for many.

I've been saying that self-custody is the way to go; exchanges will have to regulate sooner or later. --- CRS is coming sooner or later. Instead of passively waiting, it's better to start diversifying across multiple chains now. --- Wait, those platforms claiming to embrace compliance... are they really safe? Something feels off. --- Self-custody of wallets is troublesome, but it's definitely better than having your account frozen by the platform. --- Within three years? I think it will happen even faster. Exchanges are already stirring. --- That's why multi-chain deployment is necessary; you can't put all your eggs in one basket. --- The compliance framework sounds good in theory, but in practice, it's just a transparency risk... --- Has anyone calculated the cost of switching to self-custody? Gas fees are not small numbers. --- Offshore jurisdictions like BVI and Cayman are no longer viable; sooner or later, they will have to come onshore obediently.

It's time to start playing hide and seek again. CRS should theoretically work, but in practice... never mind, I won't say more. First, transfer the assets to the wallet.

I've seen through it long ago; the offshore shell will eventually be pierced. Instead of waiting for that day, it's better to start self-custody now.

I've been saying it for a while, exchanges will eventually fail; it's more reliable to keep your own wallet. CRS system... three years? I think it will be sooner, big companies are all competing in compliance. Self-custody is the future, but the prerequisite is to learn not to lose your private keys haha. Those still all-in on exchanges really need to wake up. I've been practicing distributed deployment for a long time; multi-chain deployment is truly a safety net. Compliance frameworks? I actually trust platforms that embrace them even less. Switching to self-managed wallets is the trend, but what about liquidity in trading pairs?
