Cryptio’s Mission: Bridging TradFi and Crypto Worlds
Cryptio aims to provide back-office operations and infrastructure that enable traditional financial entities (TradFi) to offer digital asset products, including stablecoins, crypto-backed loans, and crypto savings. By doing so, the platform seeks to facilitate greater adoption of cryptocurrencies among mainstream financial institutions.
Regulatory Landscape Shifts in Favor of Crypto
The repeal of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) ‘SAB 121 accounting rule’ is expected to have a significant impact on the industry. This ruling previously required companies to record customer-held crypto assets on their own balance sheet, potentially affecting capital allocations for banks working with crypto clients.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a US government agency responsible for regulating the securities industry.
Established in 1934, its primary goal is to protect investors by maintaining fair and transparent market practices.
The SEC enforces federal securities laws, oversees public companies' financial reporting, and monitors investment advisors.
With a focus on investor protection and market integrity, the SEC plays a crucial role in ensuring confidence in the US capital markets.
The lack of clear guidance from the SEC on how securities laws apply to digital assets had sparked controversy within the crypto community. However, the repeal of SAB 121 is being viewed as a positive sign of changing regulatory attitudes towards cryptocurrency in the U.S.
Implications and Future Outlook
As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, many industry observers anticipate an increase in the number of banks offering crypto services. Cryptio‘s $15 million funding extension positions the platform well to capitalize on this trend, providing essential infrastructure for TradFi entities looking to expand their offerings into the digital asset space.
