A top executive from one of the planet's largest financial institutions just dropped a warning that's got people talking. Their message? Governments need to think twice before cranking up taxes.

The timing's interesting. We're seeing countries worldwide scrambling for revenue, but here's someone at the helm of massive capital flows saying "pump the brakes." The concern isn't hard to decode—aggressive tax hikes could trigger capital flight, hurt business competitiveness, or straight-up backfire on economic growth.

For anyone tracking how money moves globally (and yeah, that includes digital assets), this matters. When traditional finance heavyweights start flagging regulatory overreach, it often signals broader shifts in how capital might relocate. Jurisdictions that get too greedy with taxation tend to watch their wealth migrate elsewhere.

The crypto space has already seen this play out—projects and investors voting with their feet when policies get hostile. Looks like the same logic applies whether you're managing a multinational bank or a DAO treasury.
