The OCC has authorized US banks to provide crypto custody, execution, and related services for their customers, allowing them to buy, sell, and hold crypto assets according to customer directives.
Banks can outsource crypto services but must maintain strong risk management practices to protect customer assets, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and agreements.
This announcement offers a clear framework that could increase customer confidence in bank-provided crypto services, empowering financial institutions to meet growing crypto demand effectively.
