In an interview with the Financial Times this month, Michael Hsu, the newly appointed acting director of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OOC), said he hoped U.S. officials would work together to set a regulatory scope for cryptocurrencies.

"How will Treasury identify, deter, and prevent fraud and scams in initial token offerings and in the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. financial markets," and other questions urging Treasury to take steps to protect investors.
