[U.S. OCC Cancels Remediation Requirements for Anchorage Digital, Regulatory Stance Turns Friendly] According to a report by Golden Finance, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has announced the withdrawal of the remediation consent order for Anchorage Digital. The document was initially issued during the Biden administration in 2022 due to deficiencies in anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) practices. The OCC stated that the institution's soundness and compliance status no longer necessitate maintaining this requirement. During the Trump administration, U.S. regulatory agencies gradually adopted a more friendly stance toward cryptocurrency. The Federal Reserve has rescinded previous guidance restricting banks from engaging in crypto-related activities and has jointly issued a statement with the OCC clarifying how existing rules apply to banks' custody of clients' crypto assets.
