Requirements for Certain Transactions Involving Convertible Virtual Currency or Digital Assets
FinCEN is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking to seek public comments on a proposal to require banks and money service businesses (``MSBs'') to submit reports, keep records, and verify the identity of customers in relation to transactions involving convertible virtual currency (``CVC'') or digital assets with legal tender status (``legal tender digital assets'' or ``LTDA'') held in unhosted wallets (as defined below), or held in wallets hosted in a jurisdiction identified by FinCEN. FinCEN is proposing to adopt these requirements pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act (``BSA''). To effectuate certain of these proposed requirements, FinCEN proposes to prescribe by regulation that CVC and LTDA are ``monetary instruments'' for purposes of the BSA. However, FinCEN is not proposing to modify the regulatory definition of ``monetary instruments'' or otherwise alter existing BSA regulatory requirements applicable to ``monetary instruments'' in FinCEN's regulations, including the existing currency transaction reporting (``CTR'') requirement and the existing transportation of currency or monetary instruments reporting requirement.
