The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted American national banks the legal authority to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on behalf of their customers. This landmark decision, announced Wednesday, removes previous regulatory barriers and paves the way for banks to offer comprehensive digital asset services.

Federal savings associations and national banks can now provide a full suite of crypto-related services, including trading, USD conversion, settlement, record-keeping, valuation support, and tax reporting. These services may be conducted in-house or through third-party partnerships, marking a significant step toward institutional adoption of digital assets.
