The OCC announced that banks are now permitted to engage in certain crypto-related operations without seeking prior regulatory approval, giving the green light for banks to custody digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>The OCC statement outlined specific crypto activities that national banks can now undertake, including crypto-asset custody services, certain stablecoin operations, and participation in distributed ledger networks, enabling them to become validators on public Proof-of-Stake networks.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement marks a step change in this administration\u2019s regulatory approach, eliminating the requirement that banks obtain advance permission from regulators before engaging in these activities.<\/p>\n<p>Under Biden, bank personnel were required to inform their supervisors about planned crypto activities, demonstrate their risk management strategies, and ensure there were no objections from supervisory bodies. The OCC also withdrew its previous statements that cautioned banks against engaging with the crypto sector.\u00a0Acting Comptroller Rodney Hood affirmed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe OCC expects banks to have the same strong risk management controls in place to support novel bank activities as they do for traditional ones. Today\u2019s action will reduce the burden on banks to engage in crypto-related activities and ensure that these bank activities are treated consistently by the OCC, regardless of the underlying technology.
