The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) withdrew two proposed rules that would have required financial institutions to report transactions involving crypto mixers and self-custody wallets. This move favours crypto privacy rights but maintains the status quo for regulated exchange users.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face fewer reporting burdens on crypto mixing and self-custody wallets when dealing with the US market, but privacy protections mainly shield direct wallet users rather than exchange clients. Adapt your compliance and customer engagement plans accordingly.
