Why does our country restrict the development of DeFi?
Mainly financial security and risk prevention.
What is DeFi? I won't say much here; people in the square should understand. If not, you can look it up yourself.
Characteristics of DeFi: decentralization, anonymity, and cross-border liquidity.
The risks are as follows:
- Risks of illegal fundraising, fraud, and Ponzi schemes:
DeFi projects lack regulation and can easily become breeding grounds for scams, pyramid schemes, and Ponzi schemes.
- Market manipulation and extreme volatility:
Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile, and DeFi lending, leveraged trading, etc., can trigger systemic financial risks.
- Money laundering and illegal trading:
Anonymity may be used for illegal activities such as cross-border money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist financing.

🔥 Hacker who stole $4.5 billion in Bitcoin becomes key witness in US government money laundering case
100X community news:
On February 28, Bloomberg reported that Ilya Lichtenstein, a hacker who stole billions of dollars from the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, targeted the currency mixing service Bitcoin Fog at a meeting in Washington on Tuesday. A cooperating U.S. government witness at the trial revealed details of how he carried out one of the largest Bitcoin thefts in history. Lichtenstein revealed that he had access to Bitfinex systems for months and hacked into personal accounts at other crypto exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken. Last year, he and his wife, a social media rapper who calls herself the "Wall Street Crocodile," pleaded guilty to money laundering offenses related to the hacking. Lichtenstein testified in court that he used a service called Bitcoin Fog as many as ten times to launder money. U.S. prosecutors charged Roman Sterlingov with operating the coin-mixing service that allegedly received tens of millions of dollars from darknet markets that trafficked illegal drugs. Lichtenstein's testimony further sheds light on the motivations behind the 2016 Bitfinex hack and how he managed to launder millions of dollars. The U.S. government alleges that the pair conspired to launder $4.5 billion in stolen Bitcoins at the time, $3.6 billion of which the government had already seized, making it the largest financial seizure in history. Lichtenstein also revealed that he decided to hack the exchange because of the difficulties his San Francisco-based tech startup was facing. "My business was in trouble and I was very tired," he told the jury.

🚨Ripple CLO slams US regulators, saying cryptocurrency has become an innocent scapegoat for its money laundering allegations!
The cryptocurrency industry has ushered in another war of words! Stuart Alderoty, chief legal officer of Ripple Labs, recently spoke out on social media, criticizing US regulators for unfairly targeting the cryptocurrency industry when dealing with money laundering issues, while turning a blind eye to similar problems in traditional banks.
🏦 Alderoty's remarks came after the Wall Street Journal revealed major loopholes in the New York Federal Reserve's anti-money laundering measures. The report pointed out that some Iraqi banks used the Federal Reserve system to illegally transfer billions of dollars, and some of the funds even flowed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Although US authorities have taken action to block the offending banks, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Fed took action after more than a decade of negligence, even after receiving warnings from the Pentagon about illegal financial activities.
💸 At the same time, Alderoty believes that institutions such as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Reserve have used cryptocurrencies as scapegoats, while ignoring more serious violations in the traditional banking industry.
XPR's lawyer John Deaton also mentioned some startling statistics. According to statistics, less than 1% of cryptocurrency transactions are related to illegal activities. According to the United Nations, the amount of money laundered through the traditional financial system each year is as high as 800 billion to 2 trillion US dollars.
🏦 These include large banks such as HSBC, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, which have been reported to be involved in money laundering for drug cartels and other illegal activities. Despite this, the focus of US regulators remains on cryptocurrencies.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed a similar view, believing that the US government's hostility to cryptocurrencies has had a destructive impact on the development of the industry.
💬 The incident once again highlighted the tension between cryptocurrencies and the traditional financial system. How do you think regulators can achieve a regulatory balance between these two areas?
