  Foreigners who want to invest in digital currencies in the US need to comply with certain regulations set by the government. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) requires foreign investors to register as a money services business (MSB) and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. Additionally, foreign investors may need to comply with securities regulations if they are investing in digital assets that are considered securities. It is important for foreigners to consult with legal experts to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
