Apparently the US regulators want to kill Uniswap and Metamask as they now are thinking of demanding KYC for these DEX? If you are seen as a broker you probably are screwed.

Help me list potential brokers in the Bitcoin and Lightning ecosystem. Especially the centralized ones. Let me know their names below.

How does this affect Lightning and Bitcoin and wallets like Getalby? Do they also have to KYC in the USA?

If something is not decentralized/ a protocol it can now be attacked by the regulators.

We don’t want any KYC of our transactions and funds.

Can Umbrel be qualified as a broker? Just thinking put loud.

How do you think these rules will affect Bitcoin and Lightning providers?

Can they extend these KYC rules to Bitcoin?
