FinCEN registration requires certain financial entities, including many crypto businesses, to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. This process designates them as Money Services Businesses, obligating them to comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regulations in the United States. Registration ensures that these entities report suspicious transactions and maintain records as part of broader efforts to combat financial crime. Failure to register can result in severe penalties and operational restrictions.
