The Treasury Department is seeking public input on how to address illicit finance and national security risks posed by digital assets, part of a multipronged push by the Biden administration to hold bad actors accountable and identify potential enforcement and regulatory gaps.

On Tuesday, the Treasury published a request for comment in the Federal Register seeking feedback on โ€œdigital-asset-related illicit finance and national security risks as well as the publicly released action plan to mitigate the risks.โ€ The comment period will be open through Nov. 3.
