According to CoinTelegraph, the senator warned that failure to comply by the January 4 deadline could result in further regulatory action.
The targeted firms reportedly include those linked to former President Trump’s crypto ventures, highlighting increased scrutiny of the digital asset space by U.S. lawmakers. This move underscores a broader push for transparency and accountability within the cryptocurrency industry.
