Super interesting development for banking and digital assets.
I don't care where you stand politically - weaponizing the financial system against your "enemies" or industries you don't like or what have you, is wrong. What's more, it backfires. If you take satisfaction in people you don't like being excluded from legal commerce, just wait until the next administration that you don't like does it to you.
Messy as it is, we still have a political system that is at least designed to work out in the open, when voters and the public can determine what goes or not.
Kudos to the Administration for this move.
