SEC Chair: U.S. Seizure of Allegedly Venezuelan-Held Bitcoin Assets 'Remains to Be Seen'

BlockBeats News, January 13th, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated that whether the U.S. will confiscate Venezuela's alleged holdings of Bitcoin assets is still "to be seen." In an interview with Fox Business, he responded that the claim that Venezuela may hold up to $6 billion worth of Bitcoin (around 60,000 BTC) is currently unverifiable by multiple blockchain analysts, and any related actions will be decided by other government departments, with the SEC not being involved.
