  Participating in the US OTC market for digital assets requires compliance with various regulatory requirements. Firstly, individuals or companies must register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a money services business (MSB) and comply with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations. This includes implementing anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) procedures to prevent illicit activities. Additionally, participants must adhere to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations if the digital assets being traded are considered securities. This may involve obtaining proper licenses and following specific reporting and disclosure requirements.
