π **Cryptocurrency Experts Discuss Impact of Regulatory Clarity on US Sanctions!** ππΊπΈ
π Oh hey there, lovely readers! Exciting insights have been shared by the fabulous Anja Manuel on how a lack of regulatory clarity on payment solutions could potentially undermine US sanctions. How intriguing! π€
π‘ Anja Manuel spotlighted that while US sanctions have been effective with “responsible” blockchain firms, the scenario changes when individuals turn to fintech solutions to bypass these restrictions. The plot thickens! ππΈ
π In a recent discussion with the amazing Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, Manuel emphasized the importance of the US maintaining its edge in financial innovation. She pointed out that this dominance not only supports national security policies, especially concerning sanctions on “bad actors,” but also highlights the need for clear regulatory frameworks in the crypto space. ππ
