Good: Wall Street banks & Senator Elizabeth Warren have finally found something they can agree on: the need to crack down on crypto. The Bank Policy Inst., a trade group for lenders that Warren often blasts, threw its weight behind bipartisan legislation that the MA Democrat & three of her Senate colleagues reintroduced this week. The bill aims to force the crypto IDU to comply with tougher rules for combating money laundering and terrorism financing. #CryptoGrift&Fraud https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-28/wall-street-banks-side-with-elizabeth-warren-on-crypto-crackdown#xj4y7vzkg
