In today’s crypto news, the Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador disclosed that only 11% of registered Bitcoin service providers in the country are operational. Out of 181 Bitcoin firms, only 20 complied with regulatory requirements under the local Bitcoin Law, which includes maintaining an Anti-Money Laundering program and proper cybersecurity measures. Jake Gallen, CEO of the NFT platform Emblem Vault, shared a warning after losing over $100,000 in crypto assets through a hacked Zoom meeting. During the call with a supposed influencer, he granted remote access to his computer, allowing the attacker to steal crypto credentials. Lastly, Anchorage Digital Bank is reportedly under investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's El Dorado Task Force, focusing on transnational money laundering and related financial crimes. This comes as Anchorage is backed by major investors, including Goldman Sachs and Visa.
