However, using our Ecosystem Tokens is a risk, as we would need to dump our own tokens price cashing them! And that's far away from our plans,” read the blog post.
Michael Hsu, acting comptroller of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), US, warned the banks that are currently dealing with crypto derivative products that they may face increased regulatory scrutiny. “Several large banks are exploring making markets for clients in Bitcoin futures, with an eye towards forward trading contracts and other derivatives. However, before banks move too much farther down this path, they should carefully consider the tail risks of trading crypto derivatives," said Michael Hsu in a virtual speech during an American Bankers Association conference, reported Coindesk.
