While this update on its own is very impressive and a good sign, it becomes even more impressive when the recent challenges are taken into account. The US Treasury has instituted a ban on cryptocurrency wallets.

The United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has imposed these restrictions on cryptocurrency wallets which are allegedly associated with individuals and entities involved in producing fentanyl.

This latest move from the US comes as they attempt to make a stand and really try to crack down on people who try to sue cryptocurrency in their illegal activities and businesses.

The US Justice Department in the US believes that authorities, such as the Chinese-based chemical manufacturers and their employees who allegedly used cryptocurrency transactions to allow for the illegal fentanyl distribution scheme, use crypto to hide their identities and activities.

Famous investor Kevin O’Leary has voiced his big concerns about the detrimental impacts of stricter and tighter regulatory barriers which are appearing around the US when it comes to innovative ways to use, buy and produce cryptocurrency.

Kevin O’Leary not impressed with US lawmakers

Following a congress hearing where Gary Gensler, the chairman of SEC, faced a string of questions regarding regulations in the crypto world, and O’Leary believes that lawmakers in the US were left displeased with Gensler.

O’Leary has now gone on to reveal that the emergence of a new exchange in the very modern and forward-thinking Abu Dhabi, M2, is now set to replace the collapsed FTX and Binance.

He went on to emphasise to the people of the US how its compliance and major backing which could soon see non-US exchanges using cryptocurrency become an industry standard and leader.
