According to Cointelegraph, on November 15, the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Fintech, and Inclusion held a hearing on "Cryptocurrency Crime Background: Analyzing Illegal Activities in Digital Assets." French Hill, chairman of the meeting, said that telephones and the Internet should not be responsible for terrorist fundraising, and neither should cryptocurrencies. Participants included representatives from ConsenSys and Chainalysis, as well as senior advisers from the law firm Hogan Lovells. They discussed the need for international cooperation and public-private partnerships to prevent the abuse of digital assets, as well as the complexity of carefully crafting legislation and blockchain investigations.
