The United States and Britain have launched their first joint law enforcement cooperation framework targeting overseas centres running cryptocurrency investment scams. U.S. federal prosecutors in Washington, the Crown Prosecution Service for England and Wales and Britain’s National Crime Agency signed a memorandum of understanding to pursue parallel investigations, share information and decide where to prosecute cases. Authorities say they have identified overlapping cases and plan an operation in London in early October with private companies.

Hawaii will enforce a law that bans cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks, becoming the fourth U.S. state to impose a full ban after Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana, Cointelegraph reported. The state legislature passed House Bill 1642 in May, and Governor Josh Green signed it in July. The law prohibits owning, operating or managing kiosks that take U.S. dollars from customers and convert them into digital assets.
