USA smoke aside
The other day, the head of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Christopher Ray once again confirmed the mood of the American authorities regarding the crypto industry.
At a meeting of the US Internal Affairs CommitteeTo security, he called cryptocurrencies a significant threat. In his opinion, the anonymity of cryptocurrencies plays into the hands of the “opponents” of the United States, including terrorists. Ray also warned that this threat would only increase in the future. In this regard, another participant in the meeting, Senator Mitt Romney, raised the issue of the need to introduce any regulatory measures to counter digital assets.
