    FATCA requires foreign financial institutions, including cryptocurrency exchanges, to report information about U.S. account holders to the IRS. This means that cryptocurrency exchanges may need to collect and report customer data, such as names, addresses, and transaction details, to comply with FATCA regulations. Failure to comply can result in penalties and potential loss of access to the U.S. market.

    The implications of FATCA on cryptocurrency exchanges' transaction limits are twofold. First, the reporting requirements may increase the administrative burden on exchanges, potentially leading to delays in processing transactions. Second, the increased scrutiny on cryptocurrency transactions may result in stricter transaction limits imposed by exchanges to ensure compliance with FATCA regulations.
