As a digital asset, digital currency is only accessible via computers or mobile phones. Digital currency is also called digital money, electronic money, electronic currency, and cyber cash. There are two major types of digital currency. Virtual currency is digital currency that’s used within a specific community, oftentimes for online games. Cryptocurrency is digital currency that has real-world value, such as Bitcoin, and can be exchanged for any type of physical currency. The underlying technology behind these currencies, blockchain technology, could revolutionize finance by making transactions faster and more secure.

A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is the digital form of a country’s fiat currency. In 2013, FinCEN issued guidance regarding virtual currencies whereby exchangers and administrators of convertible virtual currency are considered money transmitters, and must comply with rules to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes by record-keeping, reporting and registering with FinCEN.
