TechFlow News, according to The Crypto Basic, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has released new regulatory guidelines for banks wishing to hold crypto assets such as XRP, ETH, and BTC.
Under the latest requirements, a bank's total exposure to level-2 crypto assets must not exceed 1% of its Tier 1 capital; no single level-2 crypto asset may account for more than 5% of total holdings in level-2 assets.
The guidelines are expected to be implemented by January 1, 2026. The BIS classifies XRP, BTC, ETH, and certain stablecoins lacking effective stabilization mechanisms as level-2 crypto assets, distinguishing them from other cryptocurrencies.
