🚀 DeFi, Web 3, Tech enthusiasts! Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, is calling out the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) for its recent report on crypto use in evading sanctions. 😱
Grewal claims the GAO failed to conduct a meaningful comparative analysis and targeted an industry that's heavily invested in compliance. 🤔 He even pointed out that the report admits digital assets aren't effective for circumventing sanctions. 🤷
Despite the report's limitations, Senator Elizabeth Warren used it to push for stricter AML regulations. Critics argue that the proportion of crypto used for illicit activities is less than 1% of the total circulating supply, much lower than fiat currencies like the US dollar. 💵
