The US OCC confirms that banks have the right to engage in risk-free principal cryptoasset transactions
2025-12-09 15:28:34
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today issued Explanatory Letter 1188 confirming that NAB may engage in permitted banking activities related to transactions in crypto assets with risk-free principal. Such transactions involve a bank acting as principal when conducting a crypto asset transaction with one customer while performing an offset transaction with another. Banks act as intermediaries and do not hold inventory of crypto assets, but act in a similar capacity to a broker acting as an agent. As with any activity, NAB must conduct these activities in a safe and sound manner and in compliance with applicable laws.
