This week, Democrat Darren Soto, along with Congressman Warren Davidson, introduced the Token Taxonomy Act. The new law plans clarify the confusion surrounding the classification of cryptocurrency. Above all, he says that a digital resource is no longer a security once it becomes a fully functioning network. A couple of weeks ago, Sato joined Ted Budd to put an end to the manipulation of cryptocurrency prices.

As always, you will have to take this news with a pinch of salt as the ad is not from Facebook itself. Facebook creates a cryptocurrency – a story as old as time. Facebook is increasing its blockchain team, however, boasting about 40 members according to LinkedIn. The former president of PayPal David Marcus has run the Facebook Messenger app since 2014 and is currently head of the blockchain division.
