Blockchain Association executive debunks rumored crypto crackdown by Treasury

A United States blockchain lobbying group executive says there is no danger of a crypto crackdown in the country. Kristin Smith, executive director of the Blockchain Association has dismissed fears that the United States Department of the Treasury was close to cracking down on Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies. Indeed, rumors of the Treasury bringing money laundering charges against some financial institutions using cryptocurrencies began circulating on social media over the weekend. The report emerged during a period of massive selloffs in the crypto space, with the market capitalization dropping over $240 million as Bitcoin slid to $52,000. In an interview with CNBC, Smith debunked the reports, stating that it was the Department of Justice’s remit to charge companies with money laundering. Janet Yellen, the secretary of the US Treasury, is a noted crypto critic, who in February characterized the apparent misuse of cryptocurrencies for illegal activities as a growing concern. Meanwhile, several studies show the criminal usage of cryptocurrencies accounts for a minute proportion of global crypto commerce.

Proposed FinCEN rule is a 'grave threat to personal privacy,' says Coin Center

In its latest comment, the advocacy group goes after the proposed requirement to create currency transaction reports for crypto transactions. After the US Treasury Department extended the comment period for anyone to express their thoughts on a proposed crypto rule, non-profit crypto policy advocate group Coin Center has made another — and possibly final — argument to regulators. Coin Center directed its comment to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, over proposed rules that would require registered crypto exchanges in the US to verify the identity of people using "an unhosted or otherwise covered wallet" for a transaction of more than $3,000 and report on all crypto transactions of more than $10,000.

Big Tech sell-off and rising Treasury yield pin Bitcoin price below $50K

A sharp spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield and an extended Big Tech sell-off is weighing on cryptocurrency prices as investors flee risk-on assets. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to struggle below $50,000 on March 5 as a spike in the 10-year Treasury yield to 1.62%, its highest level in over a year, has taken a toll on global financial markets and hit risk-assets especially hard. At the time of writing the S&P 500 and Dow are up 0.46% and 0.64% but the tech sector sell off continues as companies like Apple and Tesla continue to slump further. Economists see rising bond yields as the result of improvements in the economy thanks to the Covid-19 vaccine rollout and the expectation that economic activity will ramp up as the rate of coronavirus infections drop.
