Maybe. Maybe only on the big-tech "major" platforms. There will likely be a pushback, specially from the "blockchain/crypto" world on pseudonymity [0]

Ye, good luck trying to sell/trade your crypto without verifying your self with a photo of your face + passport or driver's license.

Wonder if the is verifiers will be using a gov backend for identity verification?

It’s kinda easy to photoshop an ID + passport so these systems can be abused. Could also use a convolutional neural network to generate a new photo.
