US EditionU.S. Banking Regulator OCC Lifts Enforcement Order From Anchorage Digital
Anchorage Digital resolved all anti-money laundering compliance issues cited in 2022, investing millions and setting a regulatory standard for federally chartered crypto banks, the OCC said.
- The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Thursday ended its 2022 consent order against Anchorage Digital, stating the bank remedied anti-money-laundering shortcomings and no longer requires the order for safety and soundness.
- The order stemmed from findings in April 2022 that Anchorage Digital failed to adopt a Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering-compliant program, citing inadequate suspicious-activity tracking and weak customer due diligence controls.
- After 1,681 days, Nathan McCauley wrote on the company website that `We have built what has become the world's most regulated digital asset bank`.
- The decision sets a compliance benchmark for federally chartered digital asset institutions, boosting Anchorage Digital's credibility, attracting institutional clients, and enabling stablecoin issuance at scale without state caps.
- Several crypto firms including Circle, Ripple and Paxos are applying for national trust charters as OCC and other regulators relax constraints since President Donald Trump's second administration.
