What’s new? Attorney and member of the US Democratic Party Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. criticized the actions of regulators in the digital asset sector. He said that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) “have no authority to wage an extra-legal war on crypto.” The politician noted that as a result, this confrontation, “leaves major banks as collateral damage.”

More details about the politician’s position. Kennedy Jr. cited an article by Ellen Brown, an author, attorney, and founder of the Public Banking Institute, in which she, he said, “makes a strong case” that US regulators’ war on cryptocurrencies caused the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Signature, and Silvergate. In her article, Brown writes that “Federal usurpation of state banking regulation not only drives cryptocurrency innovation abroad but kills innovation in local economic.”
In April, Kennedy Jr. said that the launch of the digital dollar would lead the country into “financial slavery and political tyranny” because the central bank would have the ability to monitor transactions and control how the digital dollar is used.
Kennedy Jr. is the nephew of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and is also a contender in the 2024 presidential election from the Democratic Party.
