The US Central Intelligence Administration uses bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as part of the arsenal in confrontation with geopolitical rivals, including China. About it The CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis said in an interview with an investor and a presenter of POMP Investments Anthony Pumpliano.
According to Ellis, digital assets have become an element of technological rivalry between the US and China, and in this context, “used as another geopolitical influence tool”.
He also stressed that bitcoin is not fully anonymous, as often believed, but rather provides privacy. The CIA actively cooperates with law enforcement agencies to track illegal cryptocurrency activities.
“We already see the blockchain opens new opportunities for the analysis of the actions of our opponents,” Ellis said.
According to him, digital gold will not disappear – on the contrary, every year more and more institutions recognize bitcoin as an asset, and the trend for its legalization and integration is only increasing.
Earlier, in early March, US President Donald Trump has signed a decree on the creation of a strategic bitco-reserve-based on assets confiscated by the Ministry of Finance.
