S. 2669 · 118th Congress
Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2023
This bill applies existing anti-money laundering requirements to digital assets providers and facilitators. Specifically, the bill makes digital assets providers and facilitators financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act. Under the act, financial institutions must keep records, file disclosures, and report suspicious activity to federal regulators to aid in detecting money laundering and terrorist financing activities.
The bill also directs specified federal financial regulators to establish rules regarding digital assets. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) must require U.S. persons to report cryptocurrency transactions through foreign accounts of over $10,000. FinCEN must also require digital asset kiosk owners and administrators to submit and update every 90 days the physical addresses of the kiosks.
The Department of the Treasury must establish regulations to mitigate risks for financial institutions handling, using, or transacting business with (1) digital asset mixers, privacy coins, and other anonymity-enhancing technologies; and (2) digital assets that have been anonymized by these technologies.
Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission must establish risk examination and review processes for their respective anti-money laundering programs.
