“Industry groups including the Blockchain Association, Coin Center and the Association for Digital Asset Markets outlined their opposition to the requirements in statements on Thursday, taking particular note of provisions in the draft version that could lead to targeting of individual users”

Industry groups
“Brokers would be required to report people’s so-called basis, or the price at which they bought cryptocurrencies, as well as their gross proceeds — which would make calculating their tax bills much easier. Studies have long shown that when people know someone else is independently reporting their income to the IRS, they are far less likely to skirt tax obligations.
Lawmakers also want toinclude anti-money laundering provisions sought by the Treasury Department that would require transactions worth more than $10,000 to be reported to the government.”
So any non-compliance (like inability to know who bought-sold tulipcoins) will be treated as money laundering, applies worldwide

“Banks are widening their crackdown on digital currencies with Monzo banning payments to Gemini, the US cryptocurrency exchange founded by the billionaire Winklevoss twins.
Gemini, which is worth about $2bn (£1.4bn), has been blocked by the challenger bank since July 21.
…
This week, Nationwide joined banks in restricting card payments to Binance, an exchange based in the Cayman Islands that has faced censure by the FCA.
Banks including NatWest, Santander and Barclays have all halted payments to Binance in recent weeks. Starling Bank also briefly blacklisted all cryptocurrency transactions, before reversing the ban.”

Who cares, it’s only “fiat”, people with tulipcoins don’t need it anyway

""As cybercrime picks up -- and the haul of digital tokens along with it -- government crypto coffers are expected to swell even further. Interviews with current and former federal agents and prosecutors suggest the U.S. has no plans to step back from its side hustle as a crypto broker. The crypto seizure and sale operation is growing so fast that the government just enlisted the help of the private sector to manage the storage and sales of its hoard of crypto tokens.
[...]
Once a case is closed and the crypto has been exchanged for fiat currency, the feds then divvy the spoils. The proceeds of the sale are typically deposited into one of two funds: The Treasury Forfeiture Fund or the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund. "The underlying investigative agency determines which fund the money goes to," said [Sharon Cohen Levin, who worked on the first Silk Road prosecution and spent 20 years as chief of the money laundering and asset forfeiture unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York]. Koopman said the crypto traced and seized by his team accounts for roughly 60% to 70% of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, making it the largest individual contributor. "
