Regulation
The government of Venezuela has started monitoring the bank accounts of its citizens for cryptocurrency-related transactions.
Accounts found to contain crypto transactions at prices which the government considers to be “undermining the national currency” will be “severely punished,” Vice President Tareck El Aissami said.
He revealed that, as part of Operation Paper Hands, “5 billion bolivares [~US$50,000] in bank accounts were frozen at Banesco bank, and 12 trillion bolivares [~$120 million] were seized that were destined for contraband in Colombia,” Aporrea publication conveyed.
Three Remittance Houses Legalized
Since the launch of Operation Paper Hands, three remittance houses were shut down, including two crypto exchange operators.
