  FICA compliance refers to the regulations set forth by the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act. It requires employers to withhold and pay taxes related to Social Security and Medicare. While FICA compliance is primarily applicable to traditional employment scenarios, cryptocurrency exchanges may also need to comply with certain aspects of FICA, such as reporting requirements for employees. It is recommended for cryptocurrency exchanges to consult with legal professionals to determine their specific obligations regarding FICA compliance.
