Coinbase CEO: Anti-money laundering policies are a failure

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said on the X platform that anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are a failed policy that costs about $213 billion a year, harms legitimate consumers (as seen in multiple de-banking incidents), and according to the UN, only stops about 0.2% of illegal activity. This sounds like something the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) should be dealing with.
