Privacy in blockchain finance needs to achieve compliance and auditing. Fully anonymous Monero faces obstacles to institutional adoption, while Zcash's optional privacy does not meet complex requirements. Canton integrates privacy and compliance into business processes, forming Privacy 2.0, focusing on multiple functions under privacy conditions. In the future, privacy will be embedded in various financial processes, becoming a usable, verifiable, and compliant infrastructure.

An SFC license is just the starting point; ongoing compliance is required. Mistaking "indefinite" for "once and for all" can lead to regulatory risks, and overdue annual fees and filings can also result in serious consequences.
