The RESTRICT Act, a bipartisan bill introduced earlier this month into the United States Senate, could be applied in broad and unexpected ways, including to threaten crypto, should it become law, think tank Coin Center warned in its blog.

The bill, formally known as the ‘‘Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology Act,’’ and informally as the TikTok ban, has been introduced amid suspicions that the Chinese-owned TikTok app gathers user data on behalf of the Chinese government.
