There is a Need to Review Capital Regulations on Banks' Holdings of Cryptographic Assets: Basel Committee Chair

Yahoo Finance | Local Language | News | Nov. 21, 2025 | Regulation

Erik Thedéen, chair of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), has called for a review of capital regulations requiring banks to hold large amounts of capital against crypto asset holdings. He highlighted that the current rules, which apply even to stablecoins, need reconsideration as some jurisdictions like the United States and the United Kingdom have declined to implement them.

The Basel Committee proposed the original framework in 2021, with implementation planned for early 2026. However, with the growing adoption of stablecoins, there have been increasing calls to reassess the risk perspective of permissionless ledgers and the associated capital requirements. Thedéen emphasized the urgency of this review, signaling a need to analyze whether the risks have been overestimated.

Support for reconsidering the regulations has also come from key regulators such as Michelle Bowman, Vice Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve Board, who described the rules as “not very realistic.” The Bank of England has similarly deferred enforcement of the current standards, underscoring the widespread regulatory hesitation on applying the existing capital requirements to crypto assets.
