I think crypto legislation in the form of the GENIUS Act passing is really similar to the encryption wars of the 90's. Like encryption, crypto has potential for both innovation and carries new legal/social risks. In the 90's the U.S. faced a choice: restrict a powerful technology out of fear, or embrace and regulate it wisely.

GENIUS represents a really similar crossroads IMO.

So while Visa/Mastercard themselves didn’t violate sanctions (since their Iraqi partners weren’t sanctioned at the time), the scheme functionally enabled sanctioned entities to circumvent U.S. restrictions. All of this happened using traditional financial plumbing considered safe and compliant.
