According to Foresight News, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued new requirements for banks that want to hold crypto assets such as XRP, ETH, BTC, etc. The total exposure of banks to secondary crypto assets shall not exceed 1% of their total tier 1 capital.
No single secondary crypto asset may account for more than 5% of total secondary asset holdings. The guidelines are expected to be implemented by January 1, 2026. The Bank for International Settlements considers XRP, BTC, ETH and some stablecoins that lack effective stabilization mechanisms as secondary crypto assets.
