Cryptocurrency exchange is regulated in the USA, but the rules differ from traditional currency exchange. Traditional currency exchange follows established financial regulations overseen by government authorities like the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. In contrast, cryptocurrency exchange operates within an evolving framework.
At the federal level, agencies such as the FinCEN handle anti-money laundering, KYC compliance for cryptocurrencies. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversees certain aspects of cryptocurrency derivatives.
State-level regulations also matter, with some states having their own rules and licensing requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges. The absence of a unified federal regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies creates a complex and dynamic regulatory environment.
