  To be registered with the US Treasury for handling cryptocurrencies, currency dealers must comply with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations. This includes implementing an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program, conducting customer due diligence (CDD), and filing suspicious activity reports (SARs) when necessary. Additionally, currency dealers must register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and obtain a Money Services Business (MSB) registration. These requirements are in place to ensure transparency and prevent illicit activities in the cryptocurrency industry.

They must establish and maintain an effective AML program, which includes policies, procedures, and internal controls to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Currency dealers are also required to perform customer due diligence, which involves verifying the identity of customers and conducting ongoing monitoring of their transactions.
