If there would have been better policing of digital currency by its users against criminal actors, perhaps digital assets would be spared the attention and now regulation. Sadly, increasing adoption and privacy guarantees lure criminals same as legitimate users.
The US is being run by a convicted felon and is in the process of converting to a totalitarian state.
Any upcoming changes to privacy regulations are going to be to further that goal, not to crack down on crime.
