The recent European regulations do not have aopp like requirements, but it seems inevitable from the tone of this legislation they will. Individual countries may also decide to interpret it in a way similar to the Swiss if you withdraw to self custody. We should not make it easy to "over comply" by signing to prove control of our self custodial addresses. If they want to make that a requirement they can implement it and users should have an appropriate amount of fear/resistance for using such systems.

It seems like quite a jump to say that the current regs that they’ve spent a ton of time building don’t have such a requirement but but they’re definitely gonna add it? Do you know something the rest of us don’t? More generally, the push should be that there’s no way to practically verify, and exchanges instead should get users to agree and then do risk based analysis, not push users into a nuts protocol.
I'm just being pessimistic, no inside info. Governments are trending towards wanting more and more of people's (previously) confidential transaction information. The EUR 1000 cash purchase limit is an example of this insanity. It's something we should push back against and so I support your proposal.🙂
