  FinCEN plays a crucial role in monitoring and enforcing compliance with anti-money laundering regulations in the cryptocurrency industry. They require cryptocurrency businesses, such as exchanges and wallets, to register with them and implement robust anti-money laundering programs. This includes conducting customer due diligence, monitoring transactions for suspicious activity, and reporting any suspicious transactions to FinCEN. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in severe penalties and legal consequences for the businesses involved.
