The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a US government institution that insures depositors of US commercial and savings banks, issued a financial institution letter Thursday. The letter asks institutions supervised by the agency to notify the appropriate regional manager of their activities with crypto-related assets or their intentions to engage in crypto-related activities.
According to the letter, “It is difficult for institutions, as well as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, to adequately assess the safety, financial stability, and consumer protection implications without considering each cryptocurrency-related activity on an individual basis.”
Thus, the FDIC wants to receive all information necessary for it to “share with the Corporation regarding relevant risks” arising from its current or intended cryptocurrency activity and to “provide relevant supervisory feedback to the FDIC oversight institution, as applicable At an appropriate time.” Institutions are encouraged to contact government regulators simultaneously.
