June 2017 - The United States Senate has introduced a bill that would require all travelers entering the U.S. to declare digital currency holdings in excess of $10,000. Despite concerns raised by the invasive nature of the bill, the likelihood of it being passed is extremely low simply due to the incredibly challenging infrastructure that would be required. Formally known as the “Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act of 2017,” the bill was introduced on May 25, 2017, by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and is co-sponsored by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), John Cornyn (R-TX) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).

Sen. Whitehouse claims cryptocurrencies "are open pathways for foreign interference in American elections." Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island Democrat, said cryptocurrency and shell companies are open pathways for foreign interference in American elections.
