Wyoming was the first U.S. regulator to authorize banks to provide custody services for digital assets in 2019, and has developed a comprehensive, thoughtful supervisory framework to provide clarity for banks’ digital asset activities. Wyoming is also currently engaged in chartering new banks focused on digital asset and fintech. In this virtual fireside chat, Chainalysis Global Head of Policy Jesse Spiro sits down with Albert Forkner, Wyoming Banking Commissioner, to discuss Wyoming’s strategic and technical approach to integrating digital assets into the U.S. banking system, the OCC’s recent interpretative letter, and the future of responsible innovation in both Wyoming and the U.S. banking system.
