Remember the zero-knowledge KYC solution from a year ago? Back then, it was more of a technical demonstration, staying on paper. Now, the situation has changed—Sony Bank has already adopted it.

The logic is clear: regulators and traditional financial institutions will not easily embrace new infrastructure unless one of two conditions is met—either the risk is significantly reduced or the nightmare of data breaches is completely eliminated. Zero-knowledge proofs happen to solve this problem. User identity verification no longer requires storing personal data, and the risks of violations and data leaks are greatly reduced. This changes the entire game. When privacy and security shift from ideals to practically deployable technology stacks, the adoption pace accelerates.

Sony Bank has adopted it? That means this thing is really not fake anymore. The gap from demo to actual combat is just this much.

Sony is on board now, zero-knowledge proofs are really about to go mainstream. This is the right path; privacy is no longer just a slogan. Wait, can we really guarantee that data won't be secretly leaked? Traditional finance, when faced with risk-avoidance technology, often stalls, but this time they've finally moved. Now those platforms still hoarding user data should be panicking.

Sony Bank has really taken action? Now zero-knowledge proofs are no longer just a PowerPoint presentation for VC们 Huh? Traditional finance is finally afraid of data leaks, this is the true driving force behind adoption From theoretical discussions to giants like Sony implementing it, the changes this year have indeed been rapid Privacy and security have shifted from empty talk to engineering problems, the game rules definitely need to change I just want to know how long this方案 can last, will it become another new trend pig Honestly, privacy protection has become a business necessity, it feels different now This logic makes sense, reducing data accumulation risks is the real demand of financial institutions However, Sony dares to use this stuff, probably more followers will follow later Zero-knowledge proofs breaking out from academia to banking systems, this is indeed a milestone Real-world adoption often lags behind technical breakthroughs by three years, this year is considered fast

*adjusts alchemical instruments* so sony bank finally transmuted that zero-knowledge proof from theoretical grimoire into actual protocol deployment... the risk-adjusted calculus finally clicked for institutional custodians, fascinating

Sony Bank launches zero-knowledge KYC. This guy finally put the paper concept into practice. The bunch of hype people from before can now shut up. --- Damn, traditional finance is all about this—reducing risk + compliance frameworks—already taking action. I saw through it long ago. --- Zero-knowledge proofs finally have a real use case. Verifying identity without storing data? That logic is brilliant, directly hitting the pain points of financial institutions. --- Wait, is the real arbitrage opportunity in these privacy infrastructure tokens? Is this a good time to build a position? --- What happened to projects that hyped zero-knowledge technology a year ago? Have they been propelled by Sony Bank’s move? --- This is true infrastructure upgrade. Just shouting "decentralization" isn’t enough. You need big institutions to verify the technology to make it credible. --- Privacy + security transforming from vaporware into production tools. The game rules have indeed changed, but is this another wave of harvesting?
