It's not particularly difficult for a small start-up to come up with $25,000 in the US.

That's modest angel investor money in a small city.

Aside from playing devil’s advocate, do you have a sensible reason why it should be this way versus another way?

  • I would assume such a system is capable of facilitating fraud, so it's probably good to have some kind of financial hurdle you have to jump in order to use it? Not that having $25k or $50k is a guarantee that you aren't a fraudster, but I imagine there are a lot of would-be fraudsters who don't have that kind of cash on hand.

    I do think this is a bit of a weak justification, though.
