Kraken Drops Monero Withdrawal Questionnaires, Keeps XMR Listed

The shift is narrower than a privacy-coin reprieve: Kraken is separating intent questions from source-of-funds scrutiny, effectively conceding that destination of funds is not the exchange's business while origin still is. That distinction matters most for XMR holders facing withdrawal friction, and for other exchanges weighing how far surveillance can stretch before it becomes a competitive liability. Whether source-of-funds checks on Monero withdrawals stay routine or tighten is the open question, and whether peers read Sethi's stance as pressure to match it.
