To be fair, your statement about tether allowing traders and exchanges to sidestep the BSA is incorrect. Also, I’m not aware of any fiat-reserve coins that do not KYC at the official points of entry and redemption.

Most traders don't buy tethers directly from Tether. They normally obtain tethers from a middle person, such as an exchange or OTC desk.

Most traders don’t buy bitcoin directly from miners either. The BSA applies to those subject to its jurisdiction whether people acknowledge it or not. Some might incorrectly assume a free pass. Not all transactions globally require KYC and the BSA is about more than just KYC.
