The State of Crypto Regulation
summary
FinCEN’s rushed counterparty identification rule likely loses its name and physical address requirement, leaving only a new cash transaction report around a $10,000 CTR threshold; that change eases some AML pain but raises hard questions for centralized onramps and DeFi rails. Regulators under a crypto‑literate chair aim to fold protocol activity into broker/exchange frameworks. Consensus type proof-of-stake does not by itself remove verifier liability, and there is often no such thing as a decentralized exchange once front ends, custody, or governance tokens centralize control.
