The United States Treasury Department may have accidentally widened the window of opportunity for anyone wishing to submit comments regarding the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's new crypto rules.
Last month, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, proposed rules that would require registered crypto exchanges to verify the identity of people using "an unhosted or otherwise covered wallet" for a transaction of more than $3,000. At the time, the regulator stated that stakeholders would have 15 days to respond with comments, later clarifying that the submission period would end on Jan. 4.
