The White House reportedly wants to speak with law enforcement organizations on their objection to new cryptocurrency legislation. That’s according to a report Monday (June 29) from CoinDesk, citing a source briefed on the plan, which is aimed to address opposition related to the bill’s protections against illicit finance. At issue is a section of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act’s section known as the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act.
