Bitcoin sanctions could be next as DOJ unveils crypto crackdown plans

By Securities Docket on March 2, 2022, 3:10 pm

As Moscow’s war on Ukraine rages on and the Russian economy — and currency — spiral to new lows, Washington is reportedly trying out a new way to dial up the pressure on Putin: sanctions targeting cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum.

The Department of Justice announced early Wednesday a new task force broadly designed to enforce sanctions. As part of that, it will target efforts to use cryptocurrency to evade U.S. sanctions, launder proceeds of foreign corruption, or evade U.S. responses to Russian military aggression.
