📢Crypto news is here! U.S. President Biden has ordered a cryptocurrency mining company majority-owned by Chinese investors to be banned from owning land near an Air Force base in Wyoming, citing national security risks. 😮
According to a statement from the U.S. Treasury Department, the land is just one mile from Francis E. Warren Air Force Base, and Biden has also required the land to be sold. 💼
The company, MineOne Partners Limited, acquired the land in June 2022 and transformed it to accommodate cryptocurrency mining operations. However, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reviewed the deal and found national security risks. 🔍
This incident once again reminds us that while the prospects for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are promising, the global regulatory environment remains complex and investors need to proceed with caution. 💡
