FinCEN has dropped the $250 crypto travel rule, removing a key compliance threshold that previously required financial institutions to share customer data for crypto transfers exceeding that amount. The change eliminates one of the most debated regulatory burdens on digital asset transactions in the U.S. The announcement comes amid broader market developments including reports of a jobs beat that has put a December rate hike back in play, alongside other tech-sector news involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and an OpenAI office security incident.
