Methods to obtain privacy in Bitcoin:
- Joinmarket (decentralized Coinjoin).
- Payments with Lightning (payments through routing are totally anonymous, good method for example to put bitcoins coming from coinjoins in exchanges, you must open a private channel with a good node and through this route to the exchange).
- Liquid Pegouts with sideswap (it is like a swap and you break traceability)
- Bolts (swaps between chains and you also lose traceability)
- Joinstr (Coinjoin through Nostr, soon to be released on the mainnet).
- Mercury Layer (Coinswaps, soon to be released as well).
- Bitcoin Teleport (decentralized Coinswaps with an architecture of makers and takers similar to joinmarket).
Liquid might be next on the chopping block. Thoughts?

I've thought Liquid is a good way of getting rid of KYC, but guess it depends on the infrastructure of Blockstream...
Thinking they have some insulation considering they're an international company, right?
If they gain popularity, it is likely that they will.
