Financial crime fighters at the U.S. Treasury are «aggressively»
pursuing virtual currency platforms that lack strong internal safeguards against money laundering, a top official told a Senate panel on Wednesday.
Not only does this give precedent for CFTC to more aggressively
pursue fraud, the CEA has broad implications on the regulation of exchanges, meaning the various coin swapping
platforms virtual currencies are traded on now, like Coinbase, may become a target for CFTC in the near future.
