Freeze authority on XRPL gets called a red flag by crypto purists. I used to think the same. Then I spent time reading actual regulatory proposals. Regulators don't want permissionless freeze. They want *auditable* freeze. Who triggered it, when, with what authority. XRPL logs every freeze action on-chain with a timestamp and issuer address. That's not centralized control. That's a compliance trail most chains can't produce. Might be the most underrated thing about building here.
