美國參議員辛西婭·盧米斯(Cynthia Lummis) 的總法律顧問克里斯·蘭德(Chris Land) 的證詞表明,紐約梅隆銀行因遵守美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 的員工會計公告(SAB) 121而受到「差異」。
America’s largest custodian bank, BNY Mellon, has reportedly secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to venture into the institutional crypto custody arena.
據報道,美國最大的託管銀行紐約梅隆銀行已獲得美國證券交易委員會(SEC)的批准,進入機構加密貨幣託管領域。
During a Wyoming public hearing, testimony from Chris Land, general counsel for US Senator Cynthia Lummis, revealed that BNY Mellon had been granted a “variance” from the SEC regarding its Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121. This regulation mandates that entities like banks must include crypto assets in their custody on their balance sheets, accompanied by a corresponding liability.
在懷俄明州的一次公開聽證會上,美國參議員辛西婭·魯米斯(Cynthia Lummis) 的總法律顧問克里斯·蘭德(Chris Land) 的證詞透露,紐約梅隆銀行(BNY Mellon) 已獲得美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 就其員工會計公告(SAB) 121 授予的「差異」。
The crypto industry has maintained that this rule, intended to govern traditional financial instruments, poses a significant hurdle for banks seeking to enter the crypto custody business. However, BNY Mellon, overseen by the Federal Reserve and New York’s Department of Financial Services, seems to have found a way around this obstacle.
加密產業堅持認為,這項旨在管理傳統金融工具的規則對尋求進入加密託管業務的銀行構成了重大障礙。然而,在聯準會和紐約金融服務部監管下的紐約梅隆銀行似乎找到了繞過這一障礙的方法。
Land’s testimony further indicated that the SEC and Federal Reserve have raised no objections to BNY’s digital assets custody plans, and the bank might argue for an exemption from New York’s BitLicense, which Land stated could be preempted by federal banking law.
蘭德的證詞進一步表明,美國證券交易委員會和聯準會對紐約銀行的數位資產託管計畫沒有提出異議,該銀行可能會主張紐約的 BitLicense 豁免,蘭德表示聯邦銀行法可能會優先於紐約的 BitLicense。
This development could pave the way for BNY Mellon to commence offering institutional crypto custody services, a move that would likely accelerate institutional crypto adoption.
這項進展可能為紐約梅隆銀行開始提供機構加密貨幣託管服務鋪平道路,此舉可能會加速機構加密貨幣的採用。
