Otherwise if it’s mandatory to run an anchor because one of the end point “currency” does not have one yet: - What are requirements about liquidity ? - any jurisdiction matters or potential issues behind the mention “Anchors also need to comply with U.S. sanctions.” from https://www.stellar.org/learn/anchor-basics Thank you
