Odaily Planet Daily News The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) included cryptocurrency activities in one of the five major categories of bank risk reports. The FDIC stated that under the authorization, the FDIC will issue additional statements related to banking institutions' participation in activities related to encrypted assets. It complements the consistent view of U.S. banking institutions, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve, that banks should, for the most part, distance themselves from digital assets unless their federal regulators are satisfied with specific activities.
