PANews reported on February 3rd, citing the Financial Times, that US President Trump and his allies raised a record $429 million in political donations over the past year, with tech billionaires and companies seeking policy changes contributing to fund their campaign ahead of the midterm elections. Analysis revealed that Maga Inc., a single political action committee (PAC) controlled by Trump allies, currently holds $304 million—an amount exceeding the reserves of any political action committee in any previous midterm election year and tens of millions of dollars more than Democratic allies.
The largest single disclosed donation to Maga Inc. came from cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. Venture capital giants A16Z founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz each donated $3 million to "Maga Inc." last year. OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman donated $12.5 million to the committee last December, and his wife Anna added another $12.5 million.

NYDFS orders banks to adopt blockchain analysis
The post NYDFS orders banks to adopt blockchain analysis appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has issued a guidance letter, signed by Superintendent Adrienne A. Harris, urging financial institutions to integrate blockchain analytics tools into compliance programs to strengthen anti-money laundering prevention, sanctions compliance, and combat abuses related to digital assets. The directive is addressed to “Covered Institutions,” meaning New York state-chartered banks and branches or agencies of foreign banks authorized to operate in the State. According to data collected from industry reports and field experiences of compliance teams, the adoption of on-chain analytics improves the quality of reports and investigative capability in AML/CFT investigations. Industry analysts also note that, in tests and pilot projects conducted over the past 18 months, the integration between on-chain tools and KYC systems has led to measurable improvements in investigation times and the explainability of alerts. The directive also fits into the international framework outlined by the Financial Action Task Force, which with the October 2021 update reiterated the need for a risk-based approach for VASP and industry operators. What the NYDFS Requires from Banks In the letter, the NYDFS urges financial institutions to assess and, when appropriate, adopt blockchain analytics solutions to support KYC procedures, transaction monitoring, and counterparty risk assessment, with particular attention to Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP). In the presence of new offerings or substantial modifications to virtual currency activities, prior approval is required, in line with the guidelines already provided on VCRA and compliance analyses. The message is clear: controls must be proportionate to the business model and the risk appetite of each institution. In this context, banks must document the assessment carried out, update their risk framework, and periodically review the exposure related to digital assets. Risks, sanctions, and on-chain analysis The growing adoption of digital assets expands the risk surface to which banks are…
