OFAC just settled an enforcement action with @BitGo for apparently failing to prevent users in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, & Syria from using its service.
Lots to say here, but first, it turns out Treasury *doesn't* need more KYC to enforce sanctions laws.

When regulators, innovators, and everyone in between works together, we all win.
Read my latest piece in The Hill, where I discuss the new ruling proposed by FinCEN and why I think this can be a win for crypto.

Don't sleep on the team at Suredbits and the work they're doing on DLCs. If you do, you will miss out on the fact that people are bringing products to market on top of Bitcoin that were previously thought to be impossible and destined for altcoin chains.
