There are centralized exchanges leaving countries like Canada and Australia due to the regulatory environment. I don't think that will be enough to keep the people away. It will only slow down adoption.

Tokens already linked to $HIVE such as $SPS $LEO $CUB $POLYCUB and various NFT projects like @splinterlands are another pathway for investors to arrive on HIVE. They could convert part of their gaming rewards into HIVE.
