Federally regulated banks can engage in a range of cryptocurrency activities without prior approval, The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) said, in a new interpretive letter and statement.
In a new interpretive letter, the OCC clarified that national banks and federal savings associations can legally provide crypto custody, conduct certain stablecoin-related activities, and run nodes.
“The OCC expects banks to have the same strong risk management controls in place to support novel bank activities as they do for traditional ones,” said Acting Comptroller of the Currency Rodney E. Hood.
“Today’s 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.”
As part of this new interpretive letter, the OCC withdrew a statement it made in 2023 on liquidity risks for banks from crypto, suggesting a rollback of prior concerns about the industry’s impact on financial stability.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
