sanctions screening is forcing a rethink of desk risk limits

For operators, process beats prediction when the tape is noisy.

When self-custody adoption and developer activity disagree, sizing down beats inventing a clever story.

That debate sits next to today’s market focus around “A Cinema Chain Is Trying Something Strange to Bring Back the First.”

If cycle psychology deteriorates while open interest looks fine, the tape often turns defensive first.

If both sanctions screening and liquid staking improve together, follow-through is more believable.
