Janet Yellen is the nominee for the treasury secretary and her remarks has a deep impact on the market as well. The people and market mostly works on these big names and mark their words carefully. She said in press briefing as “Crypto-currencies are a particular concern. I think many are used — at least in a transaction sense — mainly for illicit financing. I think we really need to examine ways in which we can curtail their use and make sure that money laundering doesn’t occur through those channels,” and suggested that “lawmakers must curtail the use of crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin over concerns that they are being used for illegal activity.” It shows that the Biden’s government may prove detrimental for the crypto-market.
