☆ 'Contagion risk': After the FTX collapse, top U.S. regulators warn banks about crypto
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Without mentioning recent implosion of the crypto exchange FTX by name, regulators said that due to poor oversight, crypto-asset companies are a "contagion risk" for banks. They cited other concerns, too, such as frauds or scams, legal uncertainties around custody of crypto assets, and misleading statements by crypto firms. Federal bank regulators warned banks about investing in crypto this week, in what might be a prelude to more aggressive regulations to come. While regulators warned that "risk management and governance practices" in crypto space lack "maturity and robustness," they stopped short of announcing new rules or regulations for banks that invest in crypto assets. Much more needs to happen when it comes to regulation, Schwed adds, but he doesn't expect "anything sweeping" this year.

In Lahey's eyes, the worst thing about New Year's resolutions isn't the fact that we "fail" to fulfill them.

"But the thing that really got her attention was [when] she said 'I consistently say 'yes' to the one-off [meetings]," Lahey added, which was contributing to Brown's sense that meetings were a waste of time. Unlearning our assumptionsLahey says that when she walks people through their own "Immunity to Change" roadmap, the final column is "almost always" unrelated to the column one, much like Brown's.

Without U.S. regulation, the value of crypto investments could disappear, said hearing witness and American University law professor Hilary Allen.

"Recession is foretold as central banks race to try to tame inflation. What's more, BlackRock said that markets haven't fully priced in the potential magnitude of the impending recession, since earnings have yet to reflect even a small downturn.
