OCC: Banks Can Engage in Crypto Business With Regulatory Approval

Today’s Cryptocurrency Headline

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) said banks could engage in crypto businesses with regulatory approval. Banks should notify regulators before launching crypto services. The OCC sought to clarify some explanatory letters issued during the Trump administration. The new OCC rules clarify several letters sent during the tenure of former Commissioner Brian Brooks, saying banks should not engage in these activities until they receive written notice of no objection from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. If banks hope to provide services catering for cryptocurrency transactions, they must apply for regulatory approval and prove that they can conduct their activities in a safe and robust manner, in accordance to the OCC.
