Decrypting Elizabeth Warren’s Crypto Critique

[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE ![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/1692587449analysis.jpeg) ## [TL; DR] Legislator Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill that may create strict provisions for cryptocurrency activities in the United States. Cryptocurrency regulation helps to protect customers and crypto firms from various criminal and fraudulent practices. Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan CEO, wants the government to ban cryptocurrencies. ## Introduction Legislators in many countries around the world are working around the clock to develop suitable cryptocurrency regulation. Some nations are calling for strict legislation on digital assets while others take progressive and soft stances towards them. Although the United States has been permissive to cryptocurrencies over the years since the beginning of 2023 it has been cracking down on crypto activities. Today, we look at Elizabeth Warren, a legislator’s and Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan CEO’s stance on cryptocurrencies. Generally, both have a similar broader view on how the United States should deal with crypto assets.

Her unrepentant attack on cryptocurrencies follows Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan CEO’s similar point of view on the digital assets. In fact, Dimon said that the government should close down cryptocurrencies. According to Warren, cryptocurrencies are mostly used to fund criminal activities like terrorism and drug trafficking. [She said](https://twitter.com/i/status/1732813883130147195 "She said"), "There’s a new threat out there –it’s crypto and it is being used for terrorist financing and it is being used for drug trafficking. We can’t allow this to continue.” However, several analysts disagree with Warren as they say that the United States dollar funds more illegal activities than <a href="/zh-tw/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a>. Could that mean the United States government should ban its currency? An X user, [Natalie Brunnel posted](https://twitter.com/natbrunell/status/1732874958894989567 "Natalie Brunnel posted"), “Let’s state the facts honestly: the currency most used for bribery, extortion, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and [money laundering](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/what-is-anti-money-laundering/81 "money laundering") is the US dollar. There is no real runner up, least of all Bitcoin where every transaction is transparent and recorded for all time.” Another crypto enthusiast, [@diehardcubfan](https://twitter.com/diehardcubfan3/status/1732816130425655612 "@diehardcubfan"), believes that banning bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the United States alone has no significance since other countries will continue to use it. [He said](https://twitter.com/diehardcubfan3/status/1732816130425655612 "He said"), “Maybe I’m naive, but how can a US law impact whether or not North Korea utilizes Bitcoin? I don’t own BTC, but I think her argument lacks authenticity.” It is important to note that Warren has introduced a bill aimed at addressing her concerns. [Warren added](https://twitter.com/i/status/1732813883130147195 "Warren added"), “The Treasury Department is making clear that we need new laws to crack down on crypto’s use in enabling terrorist groups, rogue nations, drug lords, ransomware gangs, and fraudsters to launder billions in stolen funds, evade sanctions, fund illegal weapons programs, and profit from devastating cyberattacks.” “I’m glad that five new senators are joining the fight to take action, including three members of the Banking Committee – our bipartisan bill is the toughest proposal on the table cracking down on crypto’s illicit use and giving regulators more tools in their toolbox.” Major County Sheriffs of America, Global Financial Integrity, National District Attorneys Association, Massachusetts Bankers Association, Bank Policy Institute, Transparency International U.S., AARP, National Consumer Law Center, National Consumers League and Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association are examples of organizations that support the bill, indicating a push towards the introduction of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States and other countries. The new bill will extend the provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements. This development comes at a time when there has been an [increase in the adoption of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies](https://www.gate.io/blog_detail/2563 "increase in the adoption of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies"). Despite the proposed crypto law the United States [Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve several spot bitcoin traded funds (ETFs) in 2024](https://www.gate.io/blog_detail/3555/grayscale-pushes-spot-btc-etf "Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is expected to approve several spot bitcoin traded funds (ETFs) in 2024"). ## Warren and Dimon’s Collaboration For over a decade now, Dimon and US senator Warren have clashed many times as their views on a number of issues often differ. However, they recently reasoned in the same manner pertaining to cryptocurrency in the United States. They both want the government to be strict on the use of cryptocurrencies in the country. Their common perception is that cryptocurrencies are mostly used for criminal purposes. Dimon’s crypto critique resonates with that of [Warren who said](https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/1732591261431836794 "Warren who said"), “When it comes to banking policy, I don’t usually agree with the CEOs of multi-billion dollar banks. But [enforcing anti-money laundering rules against crypto](https://www.gate.io/article/30683 "enforcing anti-money laundering rules against crypto") to protect national security is common sense & critical. It's time for Congress to act.” What is surprising is that JPMorgan has launched its JPM crypto token on the <a href="/zh-tw/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> blockchain, yet its CEO, Dimon, is denouncing them. With how widespread crypto adoption is, banning them is like closing down the internet. ## Implications of Crypto Policy and Know Your Customers (KYC) Both the broader crypto policy and know your customer provisions are a requisite to the crypto sector as they safeguard both investors and cryptocurrency businesses. [KYC is a legal mandate](https://www.gate.io/blog_detail/918/what-is-kyc-and-why-is-it-important "KYC is a legal mandate") in many countries as well. Therefore, flouting their provisions may lead to legal actions and stiff penalties. In general, KYC helps to prevent different forms of fraud that may hurt both customers and crypto businesses like exchanges. The KYC enables crypto firms and the government to monitor user behaviour and transactions. Secondly, using KYC creates confidence and trust in the sector as the different stakeholders feel protected. This is because the government may easily spot signs of money laundering and terrorist financing, among other fraudulent and criminal activities. Cryptocurrency law is important in protecting crypto businesses from insolvency, bankruptcy and implosion. Various legal safeguards such as mandatory disclosures and use of reserves ensure that crypto businesses are not involved in highly risky activities that endanger their existence. During 2022 poor corporate governance practices by crypto firms like FTX exchange led to their collapse. ## Conclusion Both legislator Elizabeth Warren and Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan CEO, are calling for stricter crypto regulations to stop their use in funding criminal activities like terrorism and drug trafficking. Already, Warren has introduced a crypto bill aimed at expanding the provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) framework. Although crypto policy is necessary the country should leave room for innovation in the cryptocurrency sector. <div class="blog-details-info"> <div>Author:**Mashell C.**, Gate.io Researcher <div class="info-tips">\*This article represents only the views of the researcher and does not constitute any investment suggestions. <div>\*Gate.io reserves all rights to this article.
