The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency noted that the statement specifically describes the focus of the preliminary work conducted through the sprints undertaken by the agencies.

It also summarizes the agencies' plan to “provide greater clarity throughout 2022 on whether certain crypto-related activities conducted by banking organizations are legally permissible, and related expectations for safety and soundness, consumer protection, and compliance with existing law and regulations,” the agencies said.
