1. Major Regulatory Breakthrough for Coinbase (Big News Today)
• OCC Approves a Trust Bank License: Coinbase has been conditionally approved by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to operate as a trust bank, directly regulated by the federal government and compliant across states.
• Meaning: It can provide banking-level custody, clearing, and payments, and is no longer subject to restrictions from state oversight; no deposit-taking, no partial reserves.
• Statement: The CEO says it aligns with Trump's “American crypto capital” goal.
2. Regulatory Finalization Sets the Tone (Takes effect in March; still simmering today)
• Joint classification by the SEC + CFTC:
◦ 18 major cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH = digital commodities (not securities) → under CFTC regulation
◦ Stablecoins (compliant) = payment instruments (not securities)
◦ NFTs, MEME = digital collectibles (not securities)
◦ Only tokenized stocks/bonds = digital securities (SEC regulation)
• Institutional easing: BTC/ETH can be used as derivatives margin, and stablecoin capital requirements are reduced to 2%.#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 $BTC
