<h2 id="header-0">#1.&nbsp; European crypto industry works to influence EU policy</h2>
EU lawmakers last month voted to back new safeguards for tracing bitcoin and other crypto.
The rules would require crypto firms to gather and hold information on who is involved in digital currency transfers.
More than 40 crypto business leaders have asked the European Union not to require crypto firms to disclose transaction details and to exclude decentralised projects, among others.

<h2 id="header-1">#2. US Secret Service can track crypto as easily as emails</h2>
U.S. Secret Service (USSS) assistant director of investigations David Smith told CNBC that the agency can track the flow of Bitcoin and other crypto like how they do email addresses.
USSS has seized more than $102 million in crypto across 254 cases since 2015.
The transparent and immutable aspect of blockchain ledgers means crypto transactions can be traced easier than fiat in some cases.
