We have known that the Donald's administration has promised that it will remove much confusing regulations from the cryptospace and give the community regulatory clarity. The community was skeptical but it appears that this is becoming real.
That's just a logical consequence of a general policy that believes the world works better with less regulation. If it works better for everything in general with less regulations it is only normal to remove regulations for the crypto space as well.
Instead, Blanche urged DOJ staff to focus their enforcement efforts on prosecuting criminals who use “victimize digital asset investors” or those who use crypto in the furtherance of other criminal schemes, like organized crime, gang financing, and terrorism.[/i]
It is about prosecuting the criminal and not the means by which he commits the crime, which I agree with.
