AI Overview
BlackRock asked the OCC to reconsider the proposed 20% cap on tokenized reserves, pushing back on a regulatory limit that would constrain how much banks and institutions can hold in tokenized assets. If the cap is relaxed, it would lower regulatory barriers to institutional crypto adoption, boost custody demand, tokenization and DeFi/CEX integration, and support tokenized asset growth and fundraising; the OCC decision is a key regulatory risk.
