U.S. Senate Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) has introduced a new bill called the Crypto Assets National Security Enhancement Act of 2023, which would impose strict anti-money laundering (AML) requirements on decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. And require DeFi protocols to implement bank-like controls over their user base. The bill seeks to "combat the rise in cryptocurrency crime and cut off avenues to evade money laundering and sanctions critical to national security." Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Mark Warner (D-VA) are co-sponsors.
“If no one controls a DeFi protocol, then, as a backstop, anyone who invests more than $25 million in developing it will have these obligations,” the briefing document said. These controlling entities would need to vet and collect information about their customers, maintain anti-money laundering programs, report suspicious activity to governments, and prevent sanctioned individuals from using their protocols. It would also expand Treasury’s powers to police suspected money launderers in non-traditional financial environments, including cryptocurrencies.
