This flies in the face of liberal democratic tradition. It effectively makes it mandatory to utilize a network, that bars any party not licensed by the government from acting as a node (the inter-bank network), for any significant economic exchange.

I suspect that by increasing the cost of law abidance, it will encourage defection from the formal economy and its democratically accountable judicial system.
