An official for the U.S. Secret Service called on Congress to weigh potential legislative actions on cryptocurrencies that boast privacy-enhancing features last week.
Speaking before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services, Robert Novy, deputy assistant director for the Service’s Office of Investigations, stated that “congressional attention” on the issue is needed.
“We should also consider additional legislative or regulatory actions to address potential challenges related to anonymity-enhanced cryptocurrencies, services intended to obscure transactions on blockchains (i.e.
cryptocurrency tumblers or mixers) and cryptocurrency mining pools,” Novy said, according to published testimony.
While Novy didn’t mention any specific privacy-focused coins, but U.S. officials have raised concerns in the past.
