According to ChainCatcher, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued new requirements for banks that want to hold crypto assets such as XRP, ETH, and BTC. In the latest requirements, the BIS stipulates that the total exposure of banks to secondary crypto assets shall not exceed 1% of their total Tier 1 capital; any single secondary crypto shall not account for more than 5% of the total holdings of secondary assets. The guidelines are expected to be implemented before January 1, 2026.

It is reported that the BIS will regard XRP, BTC, ETH and some stablecoins that lack effective stabilization mechanisms as secondary crypto assets to distinguish secondary crypto assets from other cryptocurrencies.
