  As of now, digital currency regulations in the United States are primarily governed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The SEC focuses on the regulation of digital assets that are considered securities, while FinCEN oversees anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements for cryptocurrency businesses. The IRS treats cryptocurrencies as property for tax purposes, and individuals are required to report their cryptocurrency transactions and pay taxes accordingly.
