The Biden administration has been looking for a means to crack down on the crypto market as it poses a threat to tax payment, security, etc. Just the other day the U.S Treasury implemented the American Families Plan. This plan goes against anyone depositing more than $10,000 into crypto exchange/wallet.

What this means is, if you're depositing more than $10,000 into your checking/deposit account, that said the bank is required to report such transaction to the federal government respectfully.

The report says...

" Cryptocurrencies pose a significant detection problem by facilitating illegal activity broadly including tax evasion. "
