Earlier this year, FATF issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fatf-gafi.org\/media\/fatf\/documents\/recommendations\/March%202021%20-%20VA%20Guidance%20update%20-%20Sixth%20draft%20-%20Public%20consultation.pdf\">revised guideline<\/a> on how to approach cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>The Director of Research at Coin Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coincenter.org\/a-quick-analysis-of-fatfs-2021-draft-cryptocurrency-guidance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Peter Van Valkenburgh<\/a>, slammed the revision as a mass warrantless surveillance against crypto users.<\/p>\n<p>He points out the change in the definition of Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) brings many more entities, including DEXes, under their remit.

But in truth, it's not about protecting you and me.
