In this regard, FDIC data revealed that as of January 2023, approximately 136 banks were planning or were already involved in various crypto-related initiatives, according to a report published on February 16 by the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

Due to a lack of clear regulations, the report stated that banking sector players are mostly collaborating with third-party entities to investigate the digital currency space.

“According to FDIC data, as of January 2023, the FDIC was aware that 136 insured banks had ongoing or planned crypto asset-related activities. For example, these banks have arrangements with third parties tha allow bank customers to buy and sell crypto assets. Banks also provide account deposit services, custody services, and lending to crypto asset exchanges.” the OIG said.
