The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is an independent bureau within the U.S. Department of the Treasury. It ensures that all national banks and federal savings associations operate in a safe and sound regulatory framework.
Banks Allowed to Custody Crypto
In an interpretive letter released this month, the OCC stated that national banks are allowed to custody cryptocurrencies on the behalf of customers, which would include holding the private keys of those cryptographic assets. Additionally, the OCC re-affirmed their pro-position on national banks offering banking services to cryptocurrency businesses. Of course, the latter is contingent on banks complying with the applicable laws and managing risk appropriately.
Banks & Crypto: Antonyms?
For early adopters and most of the current crypto-sphere, cryptocurrencies are a step forward from traditional banks. Mostly in the sense of self-custody where the saying “not your keys, not your Bitcoins” applies. Therefore banks holding cryptocurrencies on behalf of customers may sound counter-intuitive to many.
The issue being that the current technological barrier is not an easy one to cross for the average person. Learning how to transfer funds with diligence, handling private keys, trading the asset and then sending it from one to another (cold storage for example) is a daunting experience. Any small mistake can cost bigly.
A traditional bank handling this mechanism and perhaps offering insurance for stolen/lost funds would ease the mind of many and give them the route they needed to dip their toes in this novel asset class.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
