Let me make one prediction over the next 10 years: I predict that somewhere, a competent digital regulator will decide that there’s no reason why customers of a bank need to be residents of a specific geography, they just need to be adequately identified. Once that happens, jurisdictions and financial centres will not just compete for venture capital dollars and talent, they’ll start to attempt to be truly global centres for banking where a digital value store for a customer doesn’t need to be tied to where you live.
