    On September 16, 2022, the Biden regime announced that  agencies of the United States government must crank up the pressure on the cryptocurrency sector.

    The Biden regime wants agencies to identify holes in cryptocurrency regulation and strengthen “digital asset sector enforcement”, per a Reuters report.

    The government believes that there is “potential for misuse and harm” in the cryptocurrency sector.

    In addition, the Treasury Department will be spearheading a group of government agencies that is sketching out a plan for a potential central bank digital currency.

    However, the Biden regime has not fully endorsed the concept of establishing a digital dollar.

    This latest movement comes after an executive order US President Joe Biden signed earlier this year “on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.”

    “Innovation is one of the hallmarks of a vibrant financial system and economy, but as we’ve painfully learned from history, innovation without adequate regulation can result in significant disruptions and harm to the financial system and individuals,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said to reporters.

    The government is recommending that regulatory agencies such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) put forward “guidance and rules for digital asset ecosystem risks, including the potential for cryptocurrencies to be used in money laundering or for fraud.”

    The Biden regime is also floating the idea of urging Congress to revise the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) in a way that subjects digital asset service providers — cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) — to its regulations. Under the BSA, lenders are required to report suspicious transactions to the Treasury.

    The Justice Department also announced that it’s in the process of establishing a Digital Asset Coordinator who will oversee 150 federal prosecutors. These prosecutors are tasked with investigating and prosecuting digital asset crimes in order “to combat the growing threat posed by the illicit use of digital assets.”
