The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is moving to stop using the "reputational risk" category as a way to supervise banks.
According to a letter by the FDIC's acting chairman, they believe that activities that could threaten a bank's reputation fall under traditional risk categories that supervisors already focus on.
The FDIC has completed a review of all mentions of reputational risk in its regulations and policy documents and plans to eradicate this concept from their regulatory approach.
The FDIC is working on a new direction for digital asset policy, aiming to provide banks a way to engage with digital assets.
