US Treasury Hands Big Win to Crypto Privacy

US Treasury Hands Big Win to Crypto Privacy

BeInCryptoBeInCrypto2026/10/05 17:27
The US Treasury has withdrawn a plan to track personal crypto wallets, which would have made banks and exchanges record transfers above $3,000 and report those above $10,000. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Treasurys anti-money-laundering bureau, said it will take no further action on the 2020 proposal. It dropped a second plan aimed at crypto mixing the same day. Crypto Privacy Wins? Personal, or unhosted, wallets are apps or devices where people hold their own coins instead of leaving them with a bank or exchange. Under the 2020 proposal, firms would have verified their customer and kept records when a transfer involving such a wallet topped $3,000. Transfers above $10,000, or several totaling that in 24 hours, would have triggered a report to FinCEN. That rule never took effect. FinCENs filing says the withdrawal aims to keep digital asset rules fit-for-purpose, citing a July 2025 White House crypto report. The Trump Administration supports the ability of lawful users of digital assets to privately transact on a public blockchain, read an excerpt in the FinCEN report. It takes effect on publication in the Federal Register on October 6. Why Crypto Mixers Still Face Scrutiny FinCEN also withdrew a 2023 plan on mixing, which blends many users coins to hide where funds came from. Firms would have reported suspected mixing with a foreign link. Until now, Treasurys regulatory agenda still listed that rule for final action in December 2027. FinCEN said commenters warned its mixing definition could chill legitimate activity. However, the bureau said illicit actors still use mixers and that it may act in the future. Prosecutors are also pursuing the issue in court. Developer Roman Storm faces a Tornado Cash retrial in April 2027 over the Ethereum-based mixing service. Existing duties such as suspicious activity reports and sanctions screening remain in force. Meanwhile, every Bitcoin transfer still lands on a public ledger, where wallet payments can be traced.

Constellation Brands, the maker of Corona beer, exceeds market expectations in the second quarter thanks to strong demand

Reuters, October 6 - Constellation Brands (STZ.N) reported on Tuesday that its second-quarter profit and sales both exceeded market expectations, thanks to strong demand for its beer products such as Modelo Especial and Victoria, which effectively offset challenges facing the alcohol sector amid weak consumer sentiment. The company also announced that it had acquired SpikedAde, a ready-to-drink (RTD) company with vodka-based products, for at least $75 million, as part of its strategy to expand into new demand segments and strengthen its position in the fast-growing RTD category. Constellation Brands will pay $75 million upon the closing of the SpikedAde deal, and up to an additional $278 million over the next five years, depending on the brand’s performance and the company’s capital allocation priorities. The company’s beer business benefited this year from major sports events, as the FIFA World Cup and NBA Finals boosted viewing parties and social drinking occasions. According to data compiled by London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), net sales for the quarter ended August 31 rose 6% to $2.63 billion, surpassing analysts’ average estimate of $2.54 billion. Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter were $3.74, above the expected $3.56. The wine and spirits business reported quarterly net sales growth of 17%, while beer increased by 5%. Constellation Brands reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 performance outlook: adjusted earnings per share between $11.20 and $11.90, with organic net sales expected to range from a 1% decline to a 1% increase. The company lowered its annual operating margin forecast from the previous 32%-33% range to between 31% and 32%. Its stock fell 4.5% in after-hours trading, with a year-to-date drop of about 16%. In April, the company withdrew its fiscal 2028 performance outlook, citing a turbulent operating environment and uncertain near-term prospects.
