The Federal Court in the United States recognized Bitcoin with money
The chief judge of the District Court of Columbia, Beryl Hawell, said that Bitcoin is a form of money and falls under the validity of the legislation on laundering.
The ruling allowed the Elon Musk is Accused court not to remove the charge from the CEO Coin Ninja arrested in February Larry Dina Harmon. He is accused of three points:
- laundering about $ 311 million through the Helix coins service belonging to him;
- management of unlicensed cash transfer business;
- involvement in illegal cash transfer activities.
The judge noted that the concept of money “usually means a means of circulation, payment method or means of savings”.
“Bitcoin is these things,” she said.
Recall, back in 2018, the head of the US Exchange and Securities Commission (SEC), Jay Clayton, emphasized that bitcoin can replace the dollar, yen or euro, so it cannot be attributed to securities.
