Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari claims that crypto is mostly used for illegal activities like purchasing drugs.
Kashkari has a history of criticizing cryptocurrencies, calling them a 'garbage dumpster' and 'fraud, hype, and noise'.
Crypto community members strongly rebuked Kashkari's statements, highlighting the presence of anti-money laundering policies in legitimate crypto projects.
Data from Chainalysis shows that only 0.34% of all crypto transactions in 2023 were tied to criminal activity.
