ChainCatcher news, the Chief Legal Officer of Variant Fund posted on X yesterday, stating that as U.S. regulators continue to crack down on the cryptocurrency space, many cryptocurrency founders are considering geofencing as a compliance strategy.

In short, geofencing means blocking access to a product for people in specific "geographical locations" by creating a virtual "fence" around the product. If a company cannot comply with regulations, such as providing disclosures and KYC, it can serve as a backup compliance strategy.

However, Chervinsky added, "Regarding the issue of regulatory uncertainty, this is a rather extreme solution—completely abandoning the U.S. market—but sometimes there is no choice." He noted that geofencing "is an extreme and costly measure to ensure compliance with U.S. laws."
