In different countries, cryptocurrencies have different legal statuses and specific applications.
In US law, cryptocurrencies are not legal tender and are regulated by the state, i.e., federal law.
While it is difficult to find a consistent legal approach at the state level, the US continues to make progress in developing federal cryptocurrency legislation. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) does not consider cryptocurrencies to be legal tender, but considers cryptocurrency exchanges to be a means of money transfer on the grounds that cryptocurrency tokens represent “another value that replaces currency.” The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not consider cryptocurrency legal tender but defines it as “a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and/or storage.” management accordingly.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are legal in the United States and subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). In practice, this means that cryptocurrency exchange service providers must register with FinCEN, file a POD/FT program, maintain appropriate records and submit reports to authorities. Meanwhile, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stated that it considers cryptocurrencies to be securities and comprehensively applies securities laws to digital wallets and exchanges. In contrast, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has adopted a friendlier “do no harm” approach, describing Bitcoin as a commodity and allowing public trading of cryptocurrency derivatives.
In response to guidance issued by the FATF in June 2019, FINCEN made it clear that it expects crypto exchanges to comply with the Travel Rule and to collect and share information about originators and beneficiaries of cryptocurrency transactions. It places virtual currency exchanges in the same regulatory category as traditional money transfers and applies all of those rules, including those set forth in the Bank Secrecy Act, which has established its own Travel Rule. In October 2020, FinCEN issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) amending the Travel Rule, signaling new compliance obligations for cryptocurrency exchanges.
The DOJ continues to coordinate with the SEC and CFTC on future cryptocurrency regulations to ensure effective user protection and more streamlined regulatory oversight. In 2021, the US government turned its attention to stablecoins in an attempt to eliminate the danger of rising token values. Later that year, the Presidential Task Force on Financial Markets issued a series of recommendations that called for new legislation. Congress also discussed the status of cryptocurrency services in 2021 with new regulations included in the Infrastructure Administration bill.
Under the new rules, cryptocurrency exchanges are treated as brokers and must comply with the relevant AML/CFT reporting and filing obligations.
