The uncomfortable question I keep coming back to is this: how does a bank comply with reporting rules without exposing its clients’ entire financial lives in the process?

Most regulated systems today treat privacy like a special permission. You disclose everything by default, then try to patch confidentiality on top with access controls, NDAs, or selective disclosures. It works—until it doesn’t. Data leaks. Internal misuse happens. Regulators demand broader access. And suddenly the “exception” becomes the norm.

Public blockchains didn’t fix this. They made transparency absolute. That’s clean in theory, but awkward in practice. Institutions can’t operate where counterparties, competitors, and observers see every position, strategy, or client flow. So they retreat to private ledgers, siloed systems, or endless compliance overlays. Fragmentation creeps back in.

If regulated finance is going to live on shared infrastructure, privacy has to be structural. Not hidden. Not optional. Structural. That means transaction-level confidentiality that still allows lawful audit. It means compliance that doesn’t rely on bulk exposure.

Something like @Fogo Official , built as execution infrastructure rather than a product narrative, only matters if it supports that balance—settlement speed without surveillance by default.

Who would use it? Probably institutions tired of reconciling three systems to satisfy one rule. It works if privacy and compliance are technically aligned. It fails if one always overrides the other.
