I can only hope crypto dies soon.

Its actively a violation of the GDPR and this illegal in the EU.

It violates human rights laws, including privacy laws, and is this illegal in most other places.

It violates all the laws around SWIFT, at the international level, so its illegal under these laws.

It never should have existed. Its a grift and a scam; Even NFT's vanish when the host doesn't want the expense of hosting other peoples images.

But SWIFT itself is working with a "crypto" project:

How does crypto violate gdpr?

It's pseudonymous so no PII.

What privacy laws does it violate?

On-chain NFTs will not vanish.
