Crypto accounts for < 1% of all illicit finance activity and would be even less if we created a regulatory structure to allow the crypto industry to operate in America instead of unregulated foreign markets.
Crypto is not the problem, bad actors that exist in every industry are. twitter.com/ForbesCrypto/s…

We have only scraped the surface of crypto assets’ potential.

An inaccurate report last week claimed Hamas raised nearly $100 million via crypto assets.
In reality, it was less than $500,000.
This encapsulated the misconception that crypto is a tool for illicit finance when it accounts for less than 1% of global illicit finance activity. pic.twitter.com/7brB3tmxoV

Any language circulating online is an incredibly outdated version from March 1. Stay tuned for our release of the actual bill on June 7th!
