Could you elaborate on the recent moves by the Biden administration to seemingly target and "squeeze"
cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Garantex? Are there specific regulatory concerns or economic motives behind these actions? How might this impact the broader cryptocurrency market and the operations of these exchanges? Is this a sign of a more stringent regulatory environment for digital currencies in the near future? What are the potential implications for investors and consumers in the crypto space?
