|- The ETH/BTC pair shows a pattern already seen in 2017.
- US government puts the focus on the use of cryptocurrencies for illegal activities.

He said “we want to make sure that technology moves forward; on the other hand, we want to make sure cryptocurrencies aren't used for the equivalent of old Swiss secret number banking.”
On the positive side, Mnuchin recognized that this technology is a breakthrough in transfers and micropayments. He also stated that the administration would welcome Bitcoin, Libra or any other if they meet the highest standards of transparency and accountability.
