Fusion42 · 8 November 2026 · Fusion42 review

FinCEN and the Federal Reserve have withdrawn a proposed expansion of the US Travel Rule concerning certain convertible virtual currency transfers and cross-border transfer thresholds, leaving existing anti-money-laundering obligations intact.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 4 sources have reported it between 6 Nov 2026 and 8 Nov 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must maintain current crypto AML controls despite the withdrawn Travel Rule expansion proposal, as enforcement continues under existing laws and targeted actions like those against MEXC show regulators remain active.
