Many believe that the use of crypto means that they are anonymous and they cannot be traced, and that is why there is so much illegal activity that is being funded by crypto. However, it is important to remember that the wallet that we use to store our funds, such as coinbase, does to a certain extent have a portion of our information which can be used to track us.
According to a recent article, there FBI and SEC has made 1914 requests for user data. This of course is, from my point of view, related to some sort of investigation and whilst there are users all around the world that make use of coinbase, it is said that 58% of these requests were from the US. What do you guys think of this?/ Do you suppose that perhaps there may be a way to trace the crypto? Will crypto stop being used for illegal activities?
If so, could this be a huge stepping stone to making crypto legal globally?
