Rebecca Harding, CEO of Coriolis Technologies-a company that serves financial institutions from the banking sector-said that major financial institutions have a desire to provide services related to digital assets, but there is no possibility due to the lack of legal regulation.
Harding also shared information that Bank customers are increasingly interested in cryptocurrencies.
"If the regulator does not determine the regulatory framework and financial institutions are unable to provide the desired tools in the near future, their business model may be inappropriate," she said.
According to Harding, Bank customers are actively interested in digital money. This is also confirmed by studies of the Korean news Agency Yonhap, according to which the country's commercial banks own bitcoins and ethers worth more than $2 billion.
Earlier, three American investment banks Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup launched products for major players interested in digital assets. Russian large banks, including Sberbank and Alfa-Bank, are also ready to start working with cryptocurrencies. Financial organizations are planning to address the government with a proposal to develop a legislative framework in the near future.
