美國礦工需要在 FinCEN 註冊嗎?

  • February 8, 2016

從最近的新聞中可以看出,FinCEN 已經發布了關於其虛擬貨幣分類的聲明:http ://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G001.html

假設我開採 BTC 並在 MtGox 上以美元出售。我需要在 FinCEN 註冊為匯款人(MT)嗎?我對上述文件的解釋表明是的,我願意;但我也可以看到 MtGox(已在 FinCEN 註冊)通過代理維持我的監管合規性。

不,您發布的 fincen 指南以簡單的英語提供,而您沒有。礦工只是一個使用者。

c. De-Centralized Virtual Currencies

       A final type of convertible virtual currency activity involves a 
de-centralized convertible virtual currency (1) that has no central 
repository and no single administrator, and (2) that persons may obtain 
by their own computing or manufacturing effort.

       A person that creates units of this convertible virtual currency and 
uses it to purchase real or virtual goods and services is a user of the 
convertible virtual currency and not subject to regulation as a money transmitter. 
By contrast, a person that creates units of convertible virtual currency and sells
those units to another person for real currency or its equivalent is 
engaged in transmission to another location and is a money transmitter....

在交易所你購買/出售比特幣。交易所承擔著為您提供法定貨幣或不同加密貨幣的負擔。根據 FinCen 的規定,交易所承擔著監管的責任。在美國,與實際貨幣等值的只有國債。

此外,如果您覺得需要關注它們,Fincen 法規僅對特定金額生效。

您也可以嘗試自己從財政部獲得進一步的澄清,因為在這件事上,您問什麼樣的法律顧問並不重要,在法院實際裁決的問題出現之前,沒有人知道所有語義。
