US Treasury Under Secretary Discusses Need for Global Standards in Cryptocurrency Space and Identifies NFTs as Highly Susceptible to Fraud and Scams
At CoinDesk's Consensus 2024 event, Brian Nelson, the Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, discussed the proposed labeling of crypto mixers as a "primary money laundering" concern by FinCEN. He stressed the importance of understanding the risks associated with financial services and products, including digital assets, to prevent illicit finance. Nelson also announced the release of a risk assessment on NFTs, which identified them as highly susceptible to fraud and scams. The report suggests that working with foreign jurisdictions to establish a clear standard for regulating NFTs internationally can help manage finance risks. FinCEN is committed to incentivizing compliance through education, enforcement, and regulatory clarity, as demonstrated by its enforcement action against Binance.
