The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, part of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), has officially announced the final disclosure framework for banks’ exposure to cryptocurrencies. At the same time, the committee has also made important revisions to existing crypto asset regulatory standards, in particular tightening the regulatory treatment of stablecoins.
It is reported that these new standards are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026, marking an important step for regulators in terms of transparency and consistency in the digital asset field.
In an update on July 17, the committee made it clear that the purpose of these new measures is to enhance the robustness of banks when participating in the crypto asset market. Through these revisions, the committee hopes to increase market transparency and ensure that the regulatory approach matches the rapid development of the digital asset field.
