The United States Department of the Treasury has released its national strategy for financial inclusion, only including cryptocurrencies as a potential risk for consumers.
In an Oct. 29 notice, the US Treasury said its National Strategy for Financial Inclusion in the United States report resulted from a request from Congress and included recommendations to “advance consumer access to safe financial products and services and strengthen financial security.”
According to the department, one of its methods of financial inclusion was through research of a “series of publications on consumer activities and risks related to digital assets,” citing a September 2022 report.
