Who regulates cryptocurrency exchanges? Unlike cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency exchanges do not have any central regulatory authority. In the US, the regulation for cryptos varies by state. Overall, the regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges is uncertain in the US. There are no formal rules to govern the exchanges. Several federal regulators claim jurisdiction over them due to the lack of a consensus around cryptocurrencies' nature. For example, the SEC considers crypto-assets that meet the definition of 'securities' to be under its scope. Cryptocurrency exchanges where tokens are designated as securities should ideally be registered with the SEC or be exempt from registration.
