US Banks Get Green Light for Crypto Services: 2025 marked a massive policy shift in the US, moving from an "enforcement-first" to a "rules-first" approach.
CFTC Expands Reach: The CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) announced the launch of the first leveraged spot cryptocurrency product on a CFTC-regulated exchange (Bitnomial). This is part of the US's "Crypto Sprint" initiative to establish a clear framework for digital assets.
Banking Access: US banking regulators have published detailed guidance on custody and safekeeping, creating enough certainty for major traditional financial institutions (TradFi) to offer crypto services at scale. PNC Private Bank, for example, is now offering Bitcoin spot trading to its high-net-worth clients via Coinbase infrastructure.
