The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the US Treasury Department that administers the Bank Secrecy Act. Crypto exchanges operating in the US must register as Money Services Businesses (MSBs) with FinCEN and implement robust AML/KYC programmes. FinCEN registration is a baseline compliance requirement and does not provide the same investor protections as a full securities licence from the SEC or CFTC.

FinCEN is based in United States and covers the United States jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it provides meaningful oversight, though traders should also verify whether a broker holds an additional Tier 1 licence for added protection.
Visit the official FinCEN website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the broker's registered name or licence number to confirm its status. This is the most reliable way to check a broker's regulatory standing.
Compensation availability depends on the specific rules of FinCEN in United States. Tier 1 regulators typically operate investor compensation schemes covering a portion of client funds. Check the regulator's official guidance for current limits and eligibility criteria.
