Peter Van Valkenburgh reminds readers that export control laws were the catalyst for the first crypto wars.
He points to the connection between government regulations on exports and the early conflicts related to cryptocurrency technology.
Van Valkenburgh has previously cited $3 trillion allegedly laundered through banks in 2025 during U.S. policy debates over crypto anti-money laundering measures. His comments have challenged the level of scrutiny placed on cryptocurrency exchanges in regulatory discussions. The ongoing focus is on comparing traditional banking risks to those associated with digital assets.
