“Compliance exists within jurisdictions.” Chunda McCain, Co-Founder at Paxos Labs, made that clear at ETHDenver 2026. Institutional onboarding isn’t slow because of a lack of technology. It’s layered — different rules by jurisdiction and by activity. That’s why a single global ID solution doesn’t solve the real constraint. Paxos averages about “7 days” for enterprise onboarding today. The goal is “within 48 hours,” ideally “24,” with some workflows potentially approved in “seconds” through automation. The structural takeaway: ✅ Compliance friction is regulatory, not technical ✅ Shared standards matter more than universal identity ✅ Automation compresses capital activation timelines ✅ Institutional speed depends on trusted enterprise-to-enterprise frameworks The shift isn’t toward one identity to rule them all — it’s toward interoperable compliance standards that let institutions transact faster without lowering the bar.
