US regulators say tokenized securities subject to same capital rules
The Federal Reserve and US banking regulators have clarified that tokenized securities are subject to the same capital treatment as traditional assets.
US regulators have clarified that tokenized securities will receive the same capital treatment as their traditional counterparts, saying the rules are “technology neutral.”
The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said on Thursday that they would treat traditional and tokenized securities the same under bank capital requirements.
“The technologies used to issue and transact in a security do not generally impact its capital treatment,” the agencies said.
