White House Budget Proposal Links Crypto to Crime and Terrorism In the 106-page document, the word \u201ccryptocurrency\u201d is only mentioned twice, and on both occasions, it is tied directly to terrorism financing, money laundering, and other crimes. The White House\u2019s aggressive stance towards cryptocurrencies shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise to market participants, however, as President Trump noted in his now infamous July tweet that he isn\u2019t a \u201cfan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,\u201d further going on to say that they help facilitate unlawful behavior. \u201cI am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air.

It still remains unclear as to what the implications of this statement are, although it does seem to suggest that the leadership at the top of the government has its eyes keenly set on combating the crime that is widely thought to be pervasive within the crypto markets. The impacts of this on investors may be mixed, as it could dissuade new retail investors from entering the markets due to the potential impacts of the imminent crackdown, while also potentially leading the space to see some unprecedented maturation in the coming several years. Either way, it is certainly a development that should be closely watched by all stakeholders within the market.
