Hsu: Agencies planning additional clarity on crypto activities

Nov. 17, 2021

Federal banking regulators will soon issue a short statement that describes the recently concluded interagency “crypto sprint,” Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu said. He also said the OCC will provide clarity on a recent review of crypto-related interpretive letters.

Remarks: Speaking at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Hsu said the message from both is that the agencies are approaching crypto activities carefully and expect banks to do the same—and safety and soundness is paramount.

Quote: “The releases should not be interpreted as a green light or a solid red light, but rather as reflective of a disciplined, deliberative, and diligent approach to a novel and risky area,” Hsu said.

ICBA Position: ICBA is encouraging regulators to collaborate on a comprehensive approach to unregulated platforms and expressed support for efforts to ensure a consistent federal regulatory framework for stablecoins.
