Greetings from Digital Wealth News™ ! Happy Wednesday from Beautiful Montana! ...

Speaking recently at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Dr .Yellen commented; “I think many (cryptocurrencies) are used, at least in a transaction sense, mainly for illicit financing. And I think we really need to examine ways in which we can curtail their use, and make sure that anti-money laundering doesn't occur through those channels.” Now if you buy into that line of thinking you may be very surprised to know that the data just does not support Dr. Y's comments (and Daffy didn't win an Academy Award).

Competition for new banking customers between large established traditional banks and the new 'challenger' (a/k/a digital banks) banks has taken a new twist. Challenger banks like Starling, Revolut, Chime and others have "attacked" the traditional banking industry with little or no fees, innovative services and products, easy to use apps and no branches
