FinCEN oversight refers to the regulatory authority exercised by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This body mandates compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) laws for financial institutions, including those dealing with digital assets. Its supervision aims to prevent illicit financial activities within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
