Crypto remains divisive amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine
Calls to clampdown on exchanges operating in Russia are contrasted with those who laud crypto as a means to provide Ukrainians with an alternate form of currency and fast access to financial support from across the globe. It remains to be seen whether regulators (perhaps especially those in the US) will feel sufficiently vindicated in their long-standing opposition to cryptocurrency given its ability to funnel funds into the hands of bad actors, to push back further on allowing crypto in the market in any mainstream way.

Consolidation and centralization: How Europe’s new AML regulation will affect crypto
According to recent media reports, six European countries, led by Germany, are working on launching an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) body that will include the cryptocurrency market in its purview. Details remain scarce, but it is known that the initiative involves Germany, Spain, Austria, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The group is working on “the remit and design” of a new international AML watchdog force that will have a particular emphasis on crypto, and the European Commission — the key executive institution of the European Union — will be the primary platform for the discussion.
