The Federal Reserve has updated its regulatory policy on digital assets, replacing the 2023 restrictions with a new framework that supports crypto innovation. Effective 17 December, the policy allows banks to offer custody, tokenization, and stablecoin services under a 'same activity, same risks, same regulation' model. Insured and uninsured state banks can now apply for crypto-related activities, including those not yet available to national banks. The shift aligns with recent moves by the CFTC and OCC, reflecting broader support for blockchain in liquidity and crypto markets.
