NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#KBRA--KBRA releases a report examining the intersection of the digital asset economy and U.S. banks, with a focus on select institutions in KBRA’s rated universe of banks that are actively or prospectively engaged in the space. In addition, we examine the resulting attributes that help shape our credit view of these banks.
The report also provides a primer on the development of the digital asset economy from a nascent technological concept to a growing, albeit still fragmented, global economic movement. Beyond digitally focused banks, we also outline opportunities and challenges for other banks engaged in the space with the growing influence of nonbank entities, including in the realm of decentralized finance. Finally, we delve into the regulatory landscape, examining how and where regulation could shape engagement of U.S. financial institutions with digital assets and, more broadly, blockchain technology.
