美国参议员辛西娅·卢米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 的总法律顾问克里斯·兰德 (Chris Land) 的证词表明,纽约梅隆银行因遵守美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 的员工会计公告 (SAB) 121 而受到“差异”。
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.
据报道,美国最大的托管银行纽约梅隆银行已获得美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的批准,进入机构加密货币托管领域。
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.
在怀俄明州的一次公开听证会上,美国参议员辛西娅·卢米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 的总法律顾问克里斯·兰德 (Chris Land) 的证词透露,纽约梅隆银行 (BNY Mellon) 已获得美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 就其员工会计公告 (SAB) 121 授予的“差异”。该法规要求银行等实体必须将其托管的加密资产纳入其资产负债表,并附有相应的负债。
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.
加密行业坚持认为,这一旨在管理传统金融工具的规则对寻求进入加密托管业务的银行构成了重大障碍。然而,在美联储和纽约金融服务部监管下的纽约梅隆银行似乎找到了绕过这一障碍的方法。
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.
兰德的证词进一步表明,美国证券交易委员会和美联储对纽约银行的数字资产托管计划没有提出异议,该银行可能会主张纽约的 BitLicense 豁免,兰德表示联邦银行法可能会优先于纽约的 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.
这一进展可能为纽约梅隆银行开始提供机构加密货币托管服务铺平道路,此举可能会加速机构加密货币的采用。
