The US Treasury's FinCEN and the Federal Reserve withdrew their 2020 proposal to lower the crypto cross-border transfer reporting threshold from $3,000 to $250, citing changes in the digital asset industry and regulatory landscape. The existing $3,000 threshold remains, and future rulemaking is possible after further consultation.
