According to the agenda:“The agencies (FRS and FinCEN) intend that the revised proposal will ensure that the rules apply to domestic and cross-border transactions involving convertible virtual currency, which is a medium of exchange (such as cryptocurrency) that either has an equivalent value as currency or acts as a substitute for currency, but lacks legal tender status.”


However, the proposal will also extend the reporting requirement to digital assets with legal tender status, including central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).


The final notice of proposed rulemaking is currently slated for September 2025, subject to clearance.
