SEC Crypto Task Force Engages Deutsche Bank During Crypto Week to Discuss Digital Asset Regulation

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's crypto Task Force held a pivotal meeting with Deutsche Bank USA Corp. during Crypto Week, focusing on cross-border digital asset regulation and alignment with international frameworks. Discussions centered on European models like the EU's MiCA regulation, with Deutsche Bank citing research by French economist Marion Laboure.

Deutsche Bank is deepening its crypto involvement, planning a 2026 custody platform launch and exploring stablecoins and tokenized deposits. The bank may issue its own stablecoin, capitalizing on legislative momentum from the GENIUS Act.

Meanwhile, the U.S. House debated three crypto-related bills: the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. These developments signal accelerating institutional adoption amid evolving regulatory landscapes.
