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]
Makes complete sense!
The above statement doesn't mean that general crypto investors will be criminalised through this law. Rather it's an effort to find the bad actors within the system and penalise them.
What US also needs, is regulatory clarity. They need policies and explanations on how to conduct a crypto business in US. I hope Donald Trump will delivered to his promises and bring in clarity so that the businesses can flourish. Otherwise there are many countries who can seize the opportunity to become a crypto friendly nation.
