Other risks include operations and security, governance, legal, settlement finality and compliance, the paper said.
"Certain risks stem from the blockchains’ reliance on unknown third parties, which makes it difficult for banks to conduct due diligence and oversight. These risks require new risk management strategies and safeguards. Current practices for mitigating these risks remain in various stages of development and have not been tested under stress," according to the paper.
Banks are also exposed to political uncertainty as a new legislation could "change validator behaviour," making the "blockchains themselves operationally unstable." A ban for instance could "reduce the amount of computing power or staked native tokens available to secure the blockchain, temporarily increasing the risk of a 51% attack," in which ”a coordinated effort is put forward to control greater than 50% of the validation nodes."
The paper also said technology to address some of the risks, particularly privacy, is being developed, naming zero-knowledge proofs as a potential solution.
Last month, the committee approved a disclosure framework for banks' exposure to crypto that must be implemented by the start of 2026.

SEC clarifies rules for tokenized stocks, tightening scrutiny on synthetic equity
The agency says issuer approval is required for true tokenized ownership, warning that many stock tokens sold to retail investors provide only indirect or synthetic exposure.

- The agency drew a sharp line between issuer-sponsored tokenized securities, which can represent true equity ownership, and third-party products that typically provide only synthetic exposure or custodial entitlements.
- Regulators signaled they aim to curb the spread of synthetic equity products to retail investors while encouraging issuer-approved, fully regulated tokenization structures.
