Federal Reserve Issues Guidance on Crypto Activities

The Federal Reserve has issued additional information for banking organizations about crypto-asset-related activities. It is contained in Supervisory Letter SR 22-6. The Letter reviews areas of risk for providers of these products. It also reminds organizations there are regulatory notice requirements they need to follow. John and Elliot discuss the risks identified by the Fed and how this Letter relates to a joint statement on crypto-asset policy issued by US regulators in late 2021. They also talk about the importance of having open communications with your bank regulators as you explore offering crypto-related services.
