The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has approved national banks to engage in riskless principal crypto-asset transactions, allowing them to act as intermediaries by buying and selling digital assets without holding inventory.

This landmark decision, alongside recent FDIC and OCC guidance removing prior notification requirements, clears a path for banks to offer custody, stablecoin reserves, and blockchain payment services safely. These developments under the Trump administration signal accelerating mainstream integration of crypto into traditional banking.
