Just like the dangerously broad Digital Asset Anti-Cash Laundering Act launched within the U.S. Senate, this extremely broad language could possibly be interpreted to incorporate software program builders, custodial and self-hosted pockets suppliers, miners, validators, nodes, non-fungible token non-fungible token (NFT) buying and selling platforms and even customers.
