U.S REGULATOR WARNED BANKS ON CRYPTO,BUT DID NOT ORDER HALT TO BUSINESSES!
US regulators issued warnings to banks about engaging in crypto activities, but stopped short of ordering a complete halt to their crypto businesses.
This development came to light through documents obtained by Reuters, which revealed that regulators cautioned banks against directly investing in cryptocurrencies in 2022 and 2023.
Instead of a blanket ban, regulators advised banks to exercise caution and carefully assess the risks associated with crypto transactions. This nuanced approach suggests that regulators are acknowledging the growing presence of cryptocurrencies in the financial landscape while also emphasizing the need for prudent risk management.
The warnings were likely intended to prevent banks from taking on excessive risk and to ensure that they comply with existing regulations.
By not ordering a complete halt to crypto businesses, regulators may be leaving room for banks to explore innovative financial products and services that incorporate cryptocurrencies, while still maintaining a watchful eye on their activities.
