Supporting Innovation With Guardrails: The Federal Reserve’s Approach To Supervision And Regulation Of Banks’ Crypto-Related Activities, Federal Reserve Vice Chair For Supervision Michael S. Barr At The Peterson Institute For International Economics, Washington, D.C.

Date 09/03/2023

I'm here today to discuss what we have learned from the recent turmoil in the crypto sector and what role supervision and regulation should play in helping banks manage their engagement with the sector and the innovative technologies that support it. Despite recent events, we have not lost sight of the potential transformative effect that these technologies could have on our financial system. And we need to be careful lest regulation lock in the power of incumbents or stifle innovation. But the benefits of innovation can only be realized if appropriate guardrails are in place. I am going to talk about how we are working to provide clarity to the banks we supervise about what we have learned and about our supervisory expectations. I will wrap up by sharing some thoughts on stablecoins.
