U.S. Regulatory Bodies Clarify Compliance Guidelines for Crypto Assets

According to PANews, recent reports from CoinDesk indicate that U.S. regulatory agencies, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Federal Reserve, have issued clear compliance guidelines for crypto asset custody, stablecoin reserves, and token information disclosure. These new regulations aim to establish clarity as a fundamental aspect of the industry's infrastructure. The guidelines stipulate that banks must manage key controls, segregate customer assets, and adhere to anti-money laundering regulations. Stablecoins are required to maintain one-to-one reserves and undergo audits. Additionally, token issuers must disclose their business models and smart contract codes. This emphasis on compliance and transparency is seen as a foundation for institutional expansion and trust, marking a shift in the industry from "enforcement regulation" to "information disclosure."
