From Nasdaq:

Senator Elizabeth Warren reportedly paid tribute to the pseudonymous founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, by ordering a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol. However, this may have been a stunt by Bitcoin fans as Warren’s website offers a flag-flying service for a fee, not an actual endorsement of Bitcoin or Nakamoto. The office of Warren did not respond to comment requests.

Warren, known for her strict stance on the blockchain world, supported bills like the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act. Meanwhile, former Representative Sean Patrick Maloney has vowed to disengage from cryptocurrency matters if confirmed as the ambassador to the OECD under President Joe Biden, marking a win for Warren.

Maloney had faced concerns from Warren regarding his advisory stint with Coinbase. His decision to stay away from cryptocurrency activities follows an article by Politico, in which he pledged to Warren to do so if he secures the ambassadorial role to the OECD. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $52,354, up 0.12% over the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the incident regarding Elizabeth Warren and the flag for Nakamoto was likely a stunt by Bitcoin fans. Online detectives pointed out that Warren’s website offers a flag-flying service for a fee. This comes after concerns were voiced by Warren regarding Maloney’s advisory stint with Coinbase, with Maloney pledging to disengage from cryptocurrency if he secures an ambassadorial role.
