BlackRock Strikes Back! OCC Asked to Remove "Ridiculous" Rules Hindering Tokenization 🚀⚖️
The issue stems from a proposal by the US regulator, OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), aiming to limit tokenized reserve assets (RWAs like government bonds) to a maximum of only 20% of the total reserves of stablecoin issuers. BlackRock, in its 17-page letter, firmly rejects this idea. Why? Because this limit is seen as "extraneous" (irrelevant) to actual risk and would stifle BlackRock's growth, which currently holds nearly $2.6 billion in assets and serves as a primary reserve for new stablecoins like $USDT (Ethena) and
$JUP BlackRock's aggressive stance signals a strong belief that the future of finance is tokenization. The market interprets this as a bullish long-term signal for the RWA sector and
$ETH Ethereum (the main infrastructure for tokenization). If OCC backs down, institutional liquidity will flood into regulated RWA-backed stablecoins, strengthening the fundamentals of the crypto market as a whole.
