Panelists: Privacy, accountability coexist onchain

Experts at Consensus Miami discussed how privacy and accountability can be balanced on public blockchains. While transparency is key for traceability and auditing, it can compromise user privacy. Panelists suggested that hybrid blockchain architectures and address-level monitoring can address this challenge. Moody's Ratings noted significant growth in institutional digital finance, though it remains a small fraction of traditional finance. ChangeNOW highlighted mapping wallet addresses instead of identities to meet compliance needs without compromising user privacy. This approach allows for transaction monitoring while protecting personal information.
