SEC Chair: Whether the US will seize Venezuela's alleged bitcoin assets "remains to be seen"

BlockBeats News, January 13, Paul Atkins, Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated that whether the United States will seize the bitcoin assets allegedly held by Venezuela "remains to be seen." In an interview with Fox Business, he responded that claims about Venezuela possibly holding up to $6 billion (about 60,000 BTC) cannot currently be verified by multiple blockchain analysts, and that any related actions will be decided by other government departments, with the SEC not involved in the process.
