Crypto regulation and enforcement

How regulators and the US Treasury police crypto: exchange cut-offs, anti-money-laundering rules, sanctions cases and new legislation.

Crypto trades around the clock and across borders, but the banks and payment firms that connect it to dollars and euros are regulated at home. That is where most enforcement bites: an order that stops US institutions from dealing with an exchange can matter more than any fine.

Our coverage follows the actions themselves, the legal tool behind each one and what changes for users: Treasury and FinCEN orders, OFAC sanctions, reporting thresholds such as the Travel Rule, and the laws that decide who supervises stablecoins and exchanges.
