• OCC Softens Stance on Banks' Cryptocurrency Activities: In the past few years, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has issued a series of interpretative letters and guidance regarding the agency's loosening stance on banks engaged in cryptocurrency activities.
  • Først, OCC confirmed that banks may provide cryptocurrency custody services to customers by holding the "unique cryptographic keys associated with cryptocurrency.
  • Sekund, OCC has indicated that banks also may hold reserves to support "stablecoin" transactions.
  • Tredje, OCC has authorized banks to participate in cryptocurrency transactions based on blockchain or DLT, including independent node verification networks (INVNs).
    • With advances in technology and the global financial markets, there is "increasing demand in the market for faster and more efficient payments through the use of decentralized technologies, such as INVNs, which validate and record financial transactions, including stablecoin transactions."⁶ As such, the OCC has concluded that a "bank may validate, store and record payments transactions by serving as a node [or participant] on an INVN.
• OCC's softer stance on cryptocurrency activities by banks has opened the door for traditional financial institutions to participate in a limited capacity. In October 2022, the nation's oldest bank, BNY Mellon, announced the launch of its Digital Asset Custody platform to hold and transfer Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) for select clients.

• Digital Asset Vault & Wallet Insurance:  I økende erkjennelse av behovet for forsikring som et risikostyringsverktøy for kryptovaluta og digitale eiendeler, vasser forsikringsselskaper sakte inn i markedet med nye og innovative produkter.
