The agencies are preserving the existing $3,000 threshold for international cryptocurrency transfer information collection.
The agencies are preserving the existing $3,000 threshold for international cryptocurrency transfer information collection. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹71,59,857 ($75,736.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Fri, 06 Nov 2026 20:00:01 UTC.
The decision leaves current transfer-reporting requirements unchanged and pauses a proposal that could have imposed data collection on far smaller cross-border crypto transactions.
- Treasury and Fed withdrew the proposed $250 transfer threshold
- The existing $3,000 threshold remains in place
- Officials are reassessing rules proposed in 2020
- Bitcoin trades at $75,718 as market sentiment remains fearful
The U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve have withdrawn a proposal to expand information collection for international cryptocurrency transfers involving amounts as small as $250. 
Bitcoin.com reported the decision, which leaves the existing $3,000 threshold unchanged.
The withdrawal follows a reassessment of rules originally proposed in 2020. It removes the immediate prospect of a substantially lower threshold and keeps the current reporting framework in effect while the agencies continue reviewing the earlier proposal.
Bitcoin.com is the only supplied outlet reporting the development, so there is no independent outlet corroboration or competing figure to compare. Its summary identifies both the proposed $250 threshold and the retained $3,000 threshold, with no reported disagreement from another publication.
The development applies to the agencies’ treatment of international crypto-transfer information rather than directly changing Bitcoin’s protocol or market structure. The entities involved are Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Federal Reserve, whose joint proposal would have broadened the scope of collected transaction information.
Bitcoin was priced at $75,718, down 0.39% over 24 hours and 1.75% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $1.52 trillion. The broader crypto market stood at $2.61 trillion and was broadly flat, while the Fear & Greed index registered 28, indicating fear. The relevant issue to watch is how the agencies revise or replace the 2020 proposal before considering any new threshold.
