This would mean that businesses would have to collect and verify the identity of their customers, and to report suspicious activity to the Treasury Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill would also give the Treasury Department more authority to track and investigate cryptocurrency transactions. This would include the ability to subpoena information from cryptocurrency businesses and to freeze the assets of individuals and entities suspected of using cryptocurrency for illegal activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bipartisan group of nine US senators have publicly backed Senator Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act, according to a statement from Warren&#8217;s office on September 18, 2023.
