🚨 Banks just got the green light to trade cryptocurrencies directly!
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (#OCC ) has officially confirmed that national banks can legally conduct cryptocurrency transactions "with zero-risk capital."
Simply put: a bank can buy #بيتكوين ( or any #عملة.مشفرة ) from a client and immediately sell it to another client, acting as an intermediary—without having to hold the cryptocurrency on its balance sheet ( just like a broker ).
This removes a massive gray area that has scared banks for years.
Expect a much larger number of traditional banks to start offering direct crypto trading to customers in 2026.
