The article from MSN discusses the U.S. Commerce Secretary nominee, Howard Lutnick, who is known for his support of Monero, a cryptocurrency favored by outlaws due to its privacy features.

However, supporters argue that his expertise in finance and technology could be beneficial in navigating the evolving landscape of digital currencies.
