Executive director of non-profit crypto policy advocate group Coin Center, Jerry Brito, is calling for crypto supporters to add comments to a pending FinCEN rule which could impact those self-custodying cryptocurrencies before the comment period ends. 

Brito stated in a recent tweet that with the two-week commentary period coming to an end an influx of comments against the ruling could make a difference in the outcome. He added this was a chance for members of the crypto community to point out unintended consequences of the ruling. 

The new law, if passed, would require US-regulated crypto services to check customers' identities and their respective wallets when they withdraw over $3,000 worth of crypto to a self-custodied wallet. FinCEN shortened the comment period for this rule from the typical 60-days to 15-days.
