U.S. banking regulators plan to provide clarity on banks' role in crypto in 2022
The U.S. banking regulators issued a statement Tuesday saying it will provide clarity in 2022 on what role traditional banks can legally play in the cryptocurrency market.
In 2022 authorities will provide more clarity on the role of banks in crypto
According to their joint statement, the regulators, consisting of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, have identified several areas they believe need public clarification. They plan to issue further clarifications on this topic during 2022.In 2022, the agencies intend to provide more clarity on whether certain activities by banks related to crypto-assets are legally permissible and what the expectations are for safety and soundness, consumer protection, and compliance with existing laws and regulations. The regulations may cover custody of crypto-assets and traditional custodial services, loans secured by crypto-assets, and activities that involve holding crypto-assets on the balance sheet, but the issuance and distribution of stablecoins, for example, will also be covered by the regulators.
The statement does not aim to change existing rules or regulations
The statement does not aim to change existing rules or regulations, but instead aims to focus on strengthening internal understanding and defining regulatory parameters for each agency related to crypto activities. Earlier this year Jelena McWilliams, the chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation made it clear that a team of U.S. banking regulators is trying to create a roadmap for banks that want to engage with cryptocurrencies. At the time, she said the easiest way would be to get regulators to create a roadmap for crypto asset custody. However, she added that figuring out how to allow these assets as collateral and include them on bank balance sheets is difficultMichael Hsu, acting head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), also urged regulators to work together on cryptocurrencies. He argued that regulators need to clarify where crypto activity fits into their regulatory mandate and how they will work with other regulators to protect consumers. To that end, federal banking regulators have developed a standardized and consistent set of terms for crypto activity, identified key risks, and analysed how existing policies and regulations apply to cryptocurrencies.

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.
