Switzerland has once again demonstrated its special status in the global financial system. The quick freezing of assets belonging to Maduro and his associates, involving 37 individuals, is indeed noteworthy for its speed.
Thinking carefully, what does Switzerland's ability to swiftly lock down so many related individuals imply? It indicates that they have long held a complete database of deposit accounts. This isn't a temporary investigation; it's a pre-compiled big data set.
This raises an interesting question: among the top figures active in the global political circle, there are only a few thousand. Their asset data volume isn't as large as one might imagine. If such data is fully controlled by Switzerland, the risk of complete data leakage is a real concern.
Moreover, from a historical perspective, it's not a matter of if, but when. The centralized management model of financial data is essentially a ticking time bomb in the era of big data. The emergence of encrypted assets, to some extent, is a countermeasure against the traditional monopoly of financial data. This is also why assets like BTC and ETH tend to attract attention during periods of political and economic instability. Liquidity tokens like LDO are also gaining increasing importance due to their decentralized nature.
When the security of traditional financial data faces challenges, the value of encrypted assets becomes even more prominent.

Switzerland's speed shows that on-chain privacy is basically an illusion. Traditional finance's centralized ledger has long become a political tool, no wonder more and more people are turning to the blockchain—at least everyone is equal in front of the code.

Wow, Switzerland's reaction speed is really incredible. 37 people said freeze, and it was done immediately. There must have been a pre-made list database behind this, and it wasn't a temporary check at all.

Switzerland holds so much dirt, trouble is bound to happen sooner or later.

Switzerland's speed is truly outrageous, locking down 37 people in one second? They've had the database ready all along. Speaking of which, if this database were to really leak, the global elite would be trembling in fear. This is the real battlefield for BTC.

Switzerland holds so much account data of big players, sooner or later something will happen; a leak is only a matter of time. That's why we need on-chain assets, the fully self-custodied kind.

Switzerland's approach is indeed ruthless; 37 people were frozen in the blink of an eye. What does that mean? It just shows that our asset data has no secrets at all. Isn't this the root problem of traditional finance? Once data is centralized, it's like a time bomb. Now you should understand why we need to go on-chain, right?
