FinCEN appoints new acting director and deputy director
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is making leadership changes that could potentially affect the cryptocurrency space. The regulator agency is proposing certain unpopular regulations to the crypto space in the United States, but the change in leadership could affect all of that.
FinCEN changes leadership
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced a change in leadership yesterday. Director Kenneth A. Blanco announced that he would be leaving the regulatory agency on April 9th after serving as the Director for three and a half years.Michael Mosier, former FinCEN Deputy Director and current Counselor to the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, is slated to return to FinCEN as Acting Director. Furthermore, AnnaLou Tirol, former Associate Director of FinCEN's Strategic Operations Division, will occupy the role of FinCEN Deputy Director. Mosier is popular in the cryptocurrency space as he is a former executive with blockchain firm Chainalysis.
Director Blanco expressed his excitement for the work he has done with the regulatory agency over the past three years. He stated that "Serving as FinCEN's eighth Director has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for me. I am proud to have led an incredible organization with an important national security mission that has a profound effect on the lives of so many people, especially the most vulnerable in our society. I have every confidence in Mr. Mosier and Ms. Tirol's ability to lead the bureau forward and continue the progress of ensuring our national security and protecting people from harm."
The new appointees will resume office on April 11th and will get to work right away. The acting Director and deputy Director have vast experience in the public and private sectors and are expected to to an excellent job of leading the regulatory agency.
New leadership could impact proposed crypto regulation
Late last year, the FinCEN proposed a new anti-money laundering (AML) model designed to eliminate the anonymity allowed by certain types of crypto transactions. According to the proposed rules, financial institutions like banks, money services businesses, and credit unions have to submit reports, keep records, and verify the identity of customers conducting cryptocurrency transactions and holding cryptos in digital wallets not hosted by a financial institution.The regulation would also require banks and fintechs to report some customer information to the agency for cryptocurrency transactions above $10,000 made on their platforms relating to unhosted wallets.
The cryptocurrency community has pushed back against the proposed regulations, and the agency is still hearing public opinion before making a final decision. Mosier's appointment could be in the favor of the crypto space due to his connection with the sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
