Is decentralised identity the future of digital privacy in Asia?
summary
Enterprises are already deploying decentralized identity to cut the cost and risk of hoarding user data, claiming it reduces compliance and storage costs by shifting verifications to cryptographic credentials and verifiable credentials usable on-chain for KYC/AML. Users remain unfamiliar and therefore not yet demanding these systems. Under GDPR-style rules the model makes the user becomes data controller while platforms remain data processors. In Asia these IDs tie to national records to verify residency, age, assets, education and employment without handing over passports or ID numbers.
