Do you remember the chaotic period of the crypto market three years ago? Project teams fleeing with funds, platform systems frequently crashing, and new schemes to fleece investors emerging daily. At that time, a sobering phrase circulated in the community: "Entering is gambling, winning means becoming wealthy, losing means losing everything."
Now, looking at the market again, have you noticed a phenomenon— the word "compliance" appears more than a hundred times more often than the once-popular "God Coin." This is not industry hype, but a genuine transformation happening right before our eyes.
From the most direct perspective—exchanges—the compliance measures of leading platforms have become surprisingly meticulous. Take a top exchange that went public on Nasdaq in 2021 as an example; it is regarded as a "compliance benchmark." To meet the strict requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, it divides platform assets into "compliant tradable" and "under review" categories and has established a professional compliance team of over 200 members. This team reviews transaction data and project qualifications daily, proactively discloses trading mechanisms to regulators, and even undergoes regular third-party audits. It may seem like they are tying themselves up, but this "self-discipline" allowed it to survive the 2022 wave of collapses the best, becoming a "safe haven" for many investors.
This is the true meaning of compliance—it is not an obstacle to development, but a foundation for long-term growth.

Really, every time I see the words "compliance," I think of those projects that ran away three years ago—ironic, isn't it?
Honestly, those who survive are the ones who keep self-torturing.
A 200-person compliance team sounds exaggerated, but compared to those exchanges that evaporated overnight, this is true security.
Shackles? I think it's more like a moat.
During the wave of explosions, those holding "under review" assets probably haven't had a good night's sleep.
Isn't compliance just a different way of saying "we're reliable"? In the end, investors vote with their feet.
How are friends who reminisced about the hundredfold divine coin doing now... May I ask?
From cutting leeks to building a 200-person compliance team, that's quite a turnaround, but adapting to the market is also survival.
Long-term growth? Let's see who can really hold out until that day.

Three years ago, I was still at Mengbai Bai, and now the screen is full of compliance. It really has changed.

Really, back then it was a life-and-death gamble to get in. Now, all the major institutions are starting to focus on compliance, which is somewhat unexpected.

Really, those projects that ran away back then now look like jokes, and the survivors are all rushing to become compliant — how ironic.
I have to say, the operations of top-tier exchanges are indeed stable. During the 2022 explosion, while others were collapsing, they were still lively and kicking.
Compliance, to put it simply, is like buying insurance with money. It’s expensive, but at least you can sleep soundly.
This wave of transformation is quite interesting; it feels like the gambling vibe has diminished, and the investment vibe has become stronger.
Wait, a compliance team of 200 people? Who bears that cost? In the end, it’s us retail investors who pay the price.
As the community grows, regulation is indeed necessary, but I suspect it’s not really getting better — just a different way to cut.
The once hundredfold miracle coin can now only be found among small-cap coins. The bigger platforms are becoming more “respectable,” which is truly boring.
Those three years were definitely a nightmare. Now, it’s a bit dull, with no more thrill.

Really, those who survived the pile of dead three years ago understand this principle. Most of the people still shouting about compliance and虚 haven't experienced it firsthand.
