Proposed FinCEN rule changes that would require crypto companies to collect KYC information on customers’ cryptocurrency wallets could result in users’ entire Bitcoin transaction histories being exposed, according to digital privacy non-profit the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
“If you know the name associated with a particular Bitcoin address, you can glean information about all of their Bitcoin transactions that use that address—not just their transactions over a certain dollar amount,” Marta Belcher, special counsel to the EFF, told Decrypt.
In December of last year, the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposed a regulation that would require crypto companies to collect the personal information of customers using self-hosted wallets.
The rule would require the relevant crypto firms to gather personal data on transactions that exceed $3,000. If a transaction exceeds $10,000, it would have to be reported to FinCEN.
